Bayhaqi 18162 — Killing disbelievers who take no part in fighting

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، فِي قِصَّةِ أَوْطَاسٍ، قَالَ: فَأَدْرَكَ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ رُفَيْعٍ دُرَيْدَ بْنَ الصِّمَّةِ فَأَخَذَ بِخِطَامِ جَمَلِهِ وَهُوَ يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ امْرَأَةٌ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي شِجَارٍ لَهُ، فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ، فَأَنَاخَ بِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ وَإِذَا هُوَ دُرَيْدٌ وَلَا يَعْرِفُهُ الْغُلَامُ، فَقَالَ دُرَيْدٌ: " مَاذَا تُرِيدُ؟ ". قَالَ: قَتْلَكَ. قَالَ: " وَمَنْ أَنْتَ؟ ". قَالَ رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ رُفَيْعٍ السُّلَمِيُّ، ثُمَّ ضَرَبَهُ بِسَيْفِهِ فَلَمْ يُغْنِ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ دُرَيْدٌ: " بِئْسَ مَا سَلَّحَتْكَ أُمُّكَ، خُذْ سَيْفِي هَذَا مِنْ مُؤَخَّرِ الشِّجَارِ ثُمَّ اضْرِبْ بِهِ، وَارْفَعْ عَنِ الْعِظَامِ وَاخْفِضْ عَنِ الدِّمَاغِ، فَإِنِّي كَذَلِكَ كُنْتُ أَقْتُلُ الرِّجَالَ ". فَقَتَلَهُ.
Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) says concerning the story of Awtas: Rabi'ah bin Rufay' (may Allah be pleased with him) caught up with Durayd bin al-Simmah and seized the halter of his camel, thinking it was a woman, because he was in a litter (howdah). When he made the camel kneel, it was the old man Durayd, and the young man did not recognise him. Durayd said: What do you want? He said: To kill you. Durayd asked: Who are you? He said: I am Rabi'ah bin Rufay' al-Sulami. The narrator says: Then he struck him with his sword, but could not kill Durayd. Durayd said: How poorly your mother armed you! Take this sword of mine from the back of the litter and strike with it, above the bones and below the brain, for that is how I used to kill men. And so he killed him.
