[Machine] "He informed him that he had gone out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a battle that Khalid bin Al-Walid led. Then Rabaah and the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a dead woman who had been hit by the front of the army, so they stopped and looked at her, amazed by her beauty, until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ caught up with them on his camel. He said, 'Release the woman.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped by her and said, 'Look at her, she was not fighting.' He looked at the faces of the people and said to one of them, 'Indeed, Khalid bin Al-Walid is right, he should not kill offspring or non-combatants.' Al-Bukhari said, 'Rabaah bin Rabee' is the most authentic narrator, and whoever said "reed" is mistaken. Abu 'Isa said, 'This is his narration.'"

They passed by a dead woman who had been affected by the fighting in the vanguard, and they stopped to marvel at her features. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, then caught up with them and they made way for him until he saw her. He said, "This was the one who fought." Then he looked at the faces of the people and said to one of them, "The right of Khalid bin Al-Walid should not be taken away. He should not be killed nor subjected to any kind of punishment."
