bayhaqi:18353ʿAbdullāh b. al-Mubārak > Maʿmar > ʿAbd al-Karīm al-Jazarī > Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq Utī Biraʾs > Baghaytum > ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿmar > Ṣāḥib Lanā > al-Zuhrī > Lam

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ never had a head carried to Madinah, neither on the day of Badr. However, it was Abu Bakr who had a head carried to him and he disliked that. The first person who had heads carried to him was Abdullah ibn Zubayr. The Sheikh said, and Abu Dawood narrated in Al-Marasil from Abdullah ibn Al-Jarrah from Hammad ibn Usamah from Bashir ibn Uqbah from Abu Nadrah who said, "The Prophet ﷺ met the enemy and said, 'Whoever brings a head, they will have whatever they wish from Allah.' So two men came with a head and they disputed over it, and the Prophet ﷺ ruled in favor of one of them." Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad informed us that Abu Al-Husayn Al-Fasawi narrated from Abu Ali Al-Luʿluʼi from Abu Dawood who mentioned it. This is a disconnected hadith in which it is established that there is incitement to kill the enemy, but there is no mention of a head being transported from the land of disbelief to the land of Islam.
