حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ , حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ , عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ , عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا بَعَثَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى جَيْشٍ , أَوْصَاهُ فِي خَاصَّةِ نَفْسِهِ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ , وَمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرًا , فَقَالَ : " اغْزُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ , وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ , قَاتِلُوا مَنْ كَفَرَ , اغْزُوا وَلَا تَغُلُّوا , وَلَا تَغْدِرُوا , وَلَا تُمَثِّلُوا , وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا " , وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ , قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب , عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ , وَشَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ , وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ , وَأَنَسٍ , وَسَمُرَةَ , وَالْمُغِيرَةِ , وَيَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ , وَأَبِي أَيُّوبَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ بُرَيْدَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ , وَكَرِهَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ الْمُثْلَةَ .
´Narrated Buraidah:` from his father who said: "Whenever the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) dispatched a commander of an army he would exhort him personally; that he should have Taqwa of Allah, and regarding those of the Muslims who are with him; that he should be good to them. He would say: 'Fight in the Name of Allah and in Allah's curse. Fight those who disbelieve in Allah and fight, do not be treacherous, nor mutilate, nor kill a child."

Explanation: 1؎ :
That is, if the disbelievers and polytheists are willing to surrender themselves to the commander of the army unconditionally, without any specific stipulation or firm covenant, then that is preferable.
Otherwise, if they wish to negotiate with the commander only according to Allah’s command, then the commander should not do so,
because he does not know what Allah has decreed regarding them.
This hadith comprises some of the most reliable principles of jihad, which become clear with even a little reflection and contemplation.
It is far better to adopt the explicit texts present in the hadith absolutely, rather than engaging in debate and disputation.
