ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْإِمَامِ إِذَا سَمِعَ مِنَ الْأَعْدَاءِ كَلِمَةَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ بِلُغَةِ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ الْكَفُّ عَنْ قِتَالِهِمْ إِلَى أَنْ يَسْبُرَ عَاقِبَتَهَا

[Machine] The messenger of Allahﷺ sent Khalid ibn Al-Walid to Jathima. He called them to Islam, but they did not respond by saying "we have embraced Islam". Instead, they kept saying "saba'na, saba'na" (we have become Sabians). So Khalid took them captive and killed some of them. He distributed prisoners of war among the Muslim soldiers, until one day Khalid said, "I will kill all your captives." We then went to the messenger of Allahﷺ and mentioned Khalid's actions to him. The Prophetﷺ raised his hands and said, "O Allah, I dissociate myself from what Khalid has done."

The Prophet ﷺ sent Khalid bin Al-Walid to the tribe of Jadhima and Khalid invited them to Islam but they could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna (i.e. we have embraced Islam)," but they started saying "Saba'na! Saba'na (i.e. we have come out of one religion to another)." Khalid kept on killing (some of) them and taking (some of) them as captives and gave every one of us his Captive. When there came the day then Khalid ordered that each man (i.e. Muslim soldier) should kill his captive, I said, "By Allah, I will not kill my captive, and none of my companions will kill his captive." When we reached the Prophet, we mentioned to him the whole story. On that, the Prophet ﷺ raised both his hands and said twice, "O Allah! I am free from what Khalid has done."

The Prophet ﷺ sent (an army unit under the command of) Khalid bin Al-Walid to fight against the tribe of Bani Jadhima and those people could not express themselves by saying, "Aslamna," but they said, "Saba'na! Saba'na! " Khalid kept on killing some of them and taking some others as captives, and he gave a captive to everyone of us and ordered everyone of us to kill his captive. I said, "By Allah, I shall not kill my captive and none of my companions shall kill his captive!" Then we mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "O Allah! I am free from what Khalid bin Al-Walid has done," and repeated it twice.
