حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " اقْتُلُوا شُيُوخَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، وَاسْتَحْيُوا شَرْخَهُمْ " ، وَالشَّرْخُ : الْغِلْمَانُ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُنْبِتُوا ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَرَوَاهُ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، نَحْوَهُ .

Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الجهاد، باب في قتل النساء، حديث:2670، والترمذي، السير، حديث:1583.* قتادة مدلس وعنعن.»©Explanation:
This hadith establishes that it is permissible to kill those elderly among the enemies of Islam who possess military expertise, experience, and physical and mental strength, whereas one should refrain from killing young adolescents.
Moreover, there is generally greater hope from the younger generation that they will soon enter the fold of Islam and become helpful and supportive in spreading Islam, while such hope is rarely held for the elderly and aged people.
