Bayhaqi 18089 — Prohibition of deliberately targeting women

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نَاصِحٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَطَاءٍ الْخَفَّافَ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَغَزَوْتُ مَعَهُ، فَأَصَبْنَا ظَفَرًا فَقَتَلَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَئِذٍ حَتَّى قَتَلُوا الذُّرِّيَّةَ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ جَاوَزَ بِهِمُ الْقَتْلُ حَتَّى قَتَلُوا الذُّرِّيَّةَ؟ ". فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّمَا هُمْ أَبْنَاءُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ. قَالَ: " أَلَا إِنَّ خِيَارَكُمْ أَبْنَاءُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ". ثُمَّ قَالَ: " لَا تَقْتُلُوا الذُّرِّيَّةَ ". قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا، وَقَالَ: " كُلُّ نَسَمَةٍ تُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ حَتَّى يُعْرِبَ عَنْهَا لِسَانُهَا، فَأَبَوَاهَا يُهَوِّدَانِهَا وَيُنَصِّرَانِهَا ". قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ: " مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ: " كُلُّ نَسَمَةٍ تُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ "، يَعْنِي الْفِطْرَةَ الَّتِي فَطَرَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا حِينَ أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْ صُلْبِ آدَمَ فَأَقَرُّوا بِتَوْحِيدِهِ. وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، وَذَكَرَ فِيهِ سَمَاعَ الْحَسَنِ مِنَ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سَرِيعٍ،.
Sayyiduna al-Aswad bin Sari' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I went on a campaign together with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). We were granted victory, and the people went on killing until they even killed the children. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is the matter with people that killing carried them so far that they even killed the children?" A man said: O Messenger of Allah, they are the children of the polytheists. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are not the best of you the sons of the polytheists?" Then he said: "Do not kill children," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said it three times. Then he said: "Every child is born upon the fitrah (natural disposition) until its tongue becomes articulate; then its parents make it a Jew or a Christian."
(b) Abu Ja'far Ahmad bin Ubayd (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The meaning of his saying "Every soul is born upon the fitrah" is the fitrah they had when they were brought out from the loins of Adam (peace be upon him) and affirmed the Oneness of Allah.
