[Machine] I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a narration that if I were to narrate it one day, I would narrate it today. We were on an expedition with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Tabuk. He sent Khalid ibn Al-Walid with forty riders to Ibn Dumaah Al-Jandal. He said, "If you are able to capture him, then capture him and do not kill him. But if you are unable to capture him, then kill him." They arrived at his fortress and his family said, "He has not left for two months prior to today." They found him hunting, and they were unable to capture him, so they killed him. They brought his armor made of Deebaj to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and his companions were amazed by it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are you amazed by this? The handkerchiefs of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh are softer than it in Paradise."  

سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا لَوْ حَدَّثْتُ بِهِ يَوْمًا مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ الْيَوْمَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَبُوكَ فَبَعَثَ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ رَاكِبًا إِلَى ابْنِ دُومَةَ الْجَنْدَلِ» فَقَالَ «إِنَّ قَدَرْتُمْ عَلَى أَخْذِهِ فَخُذُوهُ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَقْدِرُوا عَلَى أَخْذِهِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ» فَجَاءُوا قَصْرَهُ فَقَالَ أَهْلُهٌ مَا خَرَجَ مُنْذُ شَهْرَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْيَوْمِ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ يَرْمِي الصَّيْدَ فَلَمْ نَقْدِرْ عَلَى أَخْذِهِ فَقَتَلْنَاهُ فَجَاءُوا بِمُدَرَّعَةٍ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دِيبَاجٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ يَعْجَبُونَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ «أَتَعْجَبُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ؟ لَمَنَادِيلُ سَعْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ أَلْيَنُ مِنْهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us in a military detachment and said: ‘Go in the Name of Allah, and in the cause of Allah. Fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Do not mutilate, do not be treacherous, do not steal from the spoils of war, and do not kill children.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2857)   

بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ «سِيرُوا بِاسْمِ اللهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تُقَاتِلُونَ عَدُوَّ اللهِ وَلَا تَغُلُّوا وَلَا تَغْدِرُوا وَلَا تُمَثِّلُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا»
