[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was with the shepherds in Al-Abwa' or Waddan. So, I offered him the meat of a wild donkey. He rejected it when he saw disapproval on my face. He said, "Indeed, it is not a rejection of you, but we are forbidden to eat it." He was then asked about the people who caused harm to the polytheists’ families during the night and attacked their women and children. He said, "They are from them." He also heard him saying, "There is no protection except for Allah and His Messenger." Ali repeated it twice in this gathering. Then he said, "I memorized it the first time I heard it." I heard Ibn Ka'b bin Malik reporting from his uncle that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he sent Ibn Abi Al-Huqaiq, prohibited the killing of women and children.
مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَأَهْدَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ لَحْمَ حِمَارِ وَحْشٍ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ قَالَ وَسُئِلَ عَنْ ذَرَارِيِّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَيُبَيَّتُونَ فَيُصَابُ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ وَذَرَارِيِّهِمْ فَقَالَ هُمْ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَرَدَّدَهُ سُفْيَانُ فِي هَذَا الْمَجْلِسِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ حَفِظْتُهُ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ سَمِعْتُهُ وَكَانَ إِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا بَعَثَ إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ نَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالْوِلْدَانِ
