[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was in Al-Abwa or Waddan, so I presented to him the meat of a wild donkey. He returned it to me when he saw dislike in my face, saying, "It is not permissible for us, but it is for them." The Prophet ﷺ was asked about staying overnight in a polytheist's house where their women and children are present, and he said, "They are from them." I also heard him say, "There is no protection except for Allah and His Messenger."

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ أَوْ بِوَدَّانَ فَأَهْدَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ لَحْمَ حِمَارٍ وَحْشٍ فَرَدَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِي قَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِنَا رَدٌّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَكِنَّا حُرُمٌ» وَسُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الدَّارِ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يُبَيَّتُونَ فَيُصَابُ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ وَذَرَارِيِّهِمْ قَالَ «هُمْ مِنْهُمْ» قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «لَا حِمَى إِلَّا لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ»

The Prophet ﷺ passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet ﷺ replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)." I also heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The institution of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was skinning a dead animal. I offered him the meat of a wild donkey, which is forbidden, and he returned it to me. When he saw the disapproval on my face, he said, "We do not return things to you because of you, but because it is forbidden." He also said, "I heard him say, 'There is no protection except with Allah and His Messenger.'" He was asked about the people of the house from among the pagans who slept with their wives and children, and he said, "They are from them."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me while I was in Al-Abwa or Al-Waddan, and I offered him some meat from the flesh of a dead donkey, which is prohibited. He returned it to me, and when he saw the disapproval on my face, he said, "Indeed, we do not return anything given to us, but we are forbidden from it. I heard him say that there is no protection except through Allah and His Messenger." He was then asked about the polytheists who spend the night with their wives and children and contract a condition from them. He said, "They are from them." Then, Al-Zuhri said, "Then he prohibited that afterwards."

[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.
