١٧۔٥ بَابُ: وَصِيَّةِ الْإِمَامِ فِي السَّرَايَا

darimi:2483Muḥammad b. Yūsuf > Sufyān > ʿAlqamah b. Marthad > Sulaymān b. Buraydah from his father

[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic text is: "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would send a man on a military expedition, he would advise him to fear Allah privately for himself and for those who are with him from the Muslims. He would say, 'Fight in the name of Allah and for the cause of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Do not deceive, cheat, mutilate, or kill children.'"  

الدارمي:٢٤٨٣أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَمَّرَ رَجُلًا عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ أَوْصَاهُ فِي خَاصَّةِ نَفْسِهِ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَبِمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرًا وَقَالَ «اغْزُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَاتِلُوا مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ اغْزُوا وَلَا تَغْدِرُوا وَلَا تَغُلُّوا وَلَا تُمَثِّلُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا»
