58. Expeditions
٥٨۔ كِتَابُ السِّيَرِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to entrust the leader of an army with a certain advice concerning himself and those with him from the Muslims. He would say: "Fight in the name of Allah and for the sake of Allah, and fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Do not betray, deceive, mutilate, kill children, or kill the people in their homes. And when you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to one of three choices. Whichever of the three they respond to, accept it from them and refrain from fighting them. Then invite them to migrate from their land to the land of the Muhajireen (Muslims who migrated from Mecca to Medina). Inform them that if they do so, they will have the same rights and responsibilities as the Muhajireen. And if they refuse to migrate, inform them that they will be like the Arab Bedouins, subject to the same laws as the Arabs, and they will not receive any share of the spoils of war. Their only option then is to fight alongside the Muslims. If they refuse to pay the jizyah (tax on non-Muslims), seek assistance from Allah and fight them." And the rest of the hadith is mentioned, and the completion of the hadith will come, if Allah wills.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا بَعَثَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى جَيْشٍ أَوْصَاهُ فِي خَاصَّةِ نَفْسِهِ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ اغْزُوا بِاسْمِ اللهِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَاتِلُوا مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللهِ اغْزُوا وَلَا تَغُلُّوا وَلَا تَغْدِرُوا وَلَا تُمَثِّلُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا وَإِذَا لَقِيتَ عَدُوَّكَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَادْعُهُمْ إِلَى إِحْدَى ثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ أَوْ خِلَالٍ فَأَيَّتُهُنَّ مَا أَجَابُوكَ فَاقْبَلْ مِنْهُمْ وَكُفَّ عَنْهُمْ ثُمَّ ادْعُهُمْ إِلَى التَّحَوُّلِ مِنْ دَارِهِمْ إِلَى دَارِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ إِنْ هُمْ فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَلَهُمْ مَا لِلْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَعَلَيْهِمْ مَا عَلَى الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَإِنْ هُمْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلُوا مِنْ دَارِهِمْ إِلَى دَارِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَكُونُونَ كَأَعْرَابِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَجْرِي عَلَيْهِمْ حُكْمُ اللهِ الَّذِي يَجْرِي عَلَى الْعَرَبِ وَلَا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْفَيْءِ وَلَا مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا أَنْ يُجَاهِدُوا مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنْ هُمْ أَبَوْا فَسَلْهُمْ إِعْطَاءَ الْجِزْيَةِ فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَكُفَّ عَنْهُمْ فَإِنْ هُمْ أَبَوْا فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللهِ وَقَاتِلْهُمْ وَذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْحَدِيثِ وَتَمَامُ الْحَدِيثِ يَرِدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ
