[Machine] "He [the narrator] reported that he accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a battle led by Khalid ibn al-Walid. They passed by a woman who had been killed from what had afflicted the front line. They stopped and looked at her, amazed by her appearance, until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught up with them on his mount. They moved away from her, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood over her and said, 'This woman was not meant to fight.' He said to one of them, 'Speak the truth, O Khalid, and say to him [referring to Khalid], "Do not kill offspring or a suckling child."
