When we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on an expedition, he saw some people collected together over something and sent a man and said: See, what are these people collected around? He then came and said: They are round a woman who has been killed. He said: This is not one with whom fighting should have taken place. Khalid ibn al-Walid was in charge of the van; so he sent a man and said: Tell Khalid not to kill a woman or a hired servant.  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَرَأَى النَّاسَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ عَلَى شَىْءٍ فَبَعَثَ رَجُلاً فَقَالَ انْظُرْ عَلاَمَ اجْتَمَعَ هَؤُلاَءِ فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ قَتِيلٍ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ لِتُقَاتِلَ قَالَ وَعَلَى الْمُقَدِّمَةِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَبَعَثَ رَجُلاً فَقَالَ قُلْ لِخَالِدٍ لاَ يَقْتُلَنَّ امْرَأَةً وَلاَ عَسِيفًا  

[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ in a battle, and suddenly the people gathered around a dead woman. He said, "Was this woman fighting?" They replied, "Khalid bin Al-Walid was in the front." He sent a man to him and said, "Order Khalid not to kill any offspring or a captive."  

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ مُجْتَمِعُونَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَقْتُولَةٍ فَقَالَ «مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ تُقَاتِلُ» فَقَالَ «مَنْ عَلَى الْمُقَدِّمَةِ؟» قَالُوا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ «مُرْ خَالِدًا لَا يَقْتُلْ ذُرِّيَّةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا»

He then came and said: They are round a woman who has been killed. He said: This is not one with whom fighting should have taken place. Khalid ibn al-Walid was in charge of the van; so he sent a man and said: Tell Khalid not to kill a woman or a hired servant. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2669)
