[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say when sending an army, and in the narration of Ibn Abi Oweis, he said about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that when he sent his armies, he would say, 'Go forth in the name of Allah, fighting for the cause of Allah. Do not be treacherous, deceitful, greedy, or kill children or those in places of worship.' The narration of Al-Misri does not include his statement 'Do not be greedy,' and the rest is similar to it."

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz wrote to one of his governors, "It has been passed down to us that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out a raiding party, he would say to them, 'Make your raids in the name of Allah in the way of Allah. Fight whoever denies Allah. Do not steal from the booty, and do not act treacherously. Do not mutilate and do not kill children.' Say the same to your armies and raiding parties, Allah willing. Peace be upon you."
