Bayhaqi 18060 — Prohibition of tying up a captured disbeliever to use

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْوَهْبِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ يَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَدْرَبْنَا مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، وَهُوَ أَمِيرُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الدُّرُوبِ. قَالَ: فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا مِنْ أَرْضِ الرُّومِ فَأَقَمْنَا بِهِ. قَالَ: وَكَانَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ قَدِ اتَّخَذَ مَسْجِدًا فَكُنَّا نَرُوحُ وَنَجْلِسُ إِلَيْهِ، وَيُصَلِّي لَنَا وَنَسْتَمْتِعُ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ. قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ إِنَّا لَعَشِيَّةً مَعَهُ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: أَتَى الْآنَ الْأَمِيرُ بِأَرْبَعَةِ أَعْلَاجٍ مِنَ الرُّومِ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ أَنْ يُصْبَرُوا، فَرُمُوا بِالنَّبْلِ حَتَّى قُتِلُوا، فَقَامَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَزِعًا حَتَّى جَاءَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ خَالِدٍ، فَقَالَ: أَصَبَرْتَهُمْ؟ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَنْهَى عَنْ صَبْرِ الدَّابَّةِ ". وَمَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَأَنِّي صَبَرْتُ دَجَاجَةً. قَالَ: فَدَعَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ بِغِلْمَانٍ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةٍ فَأَعْتَقَهُمْ مَكَانَهَمْ. قَالَ أَبُو زُرْعَةُ: عُبَيْدُ بْنُ يَعْلَى مِنْ أَهْلِ فِلَسْطِينَ مَنْزِلُهُ عَسْقَلَانُ، وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ.
Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We went on a campaign with Abd al-Rahman bin Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) and camped in the land of the Romans. He says: Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) had made a mosque, and in the evenings we would go and sit in his gathering and benefit from his words. He says: One evening I was with him when a man came and said: Four Roman disbelievers (captives) have just been brought to the commander, and he ordered that they be tied up, and they were shot with arrows until they were killed. Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up in alarm, came to Abd al-Rahman bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Did you tie them up (to be killed)? I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): he "forbade tying up an animal (to kill it)," and I would not like to have such-and-such (in return) for tying up even a single hen. So Abd al-Rahman bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) freed four of his own slaves in their place. Abu Zur'ah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Ubayd bin Ya'la was from Palestine; his home was in Ascalon.
