[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a battle, and we passed by a woman who had been killed. The people uncovered her face and recognized her. So, he said, "This woman did not fight for the truth, may she be cursed." I said to him, "Do not kill an offspring or a captive."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٥٧٣أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْمُرَقَّعِ بْنِ صَيْفِيٍّ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ الْكَاتِبِ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَمَرَرْنَا بِامْرَأَةٍ مَقْتُولَةٍ وَالنَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا فَفرَجُوا لَهُ فَقَالَ «مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ تُقَاتِلُ الْحَقَ خَالِدًا» فَقُلْ لَهُ «لَا تُقْتَلْ ذُرِّيَّةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا»

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a battle when he passed by a dead woman and people were gathered around her. He said, "This woman was not fighting, so tell Khalid not to kill children or women."

[Machine] "We were raiding with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when we passed by a woman who had been killed and had people gathered around her. They uncovered her for the Prophet ﷺ, who said, 'She should not have been killed.' Then he said, 'Go, for the truth is with Khalid ibn al-Walid and tell him not to kill any offspring or maid servant.'"

"عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ حِينَ غَزَا المُشرِكُونَ، فَمَرَرْنَا بِامْرَأَةٍ مَقْتُولَةٍ ذَاتِ خَلْقٍ، اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : مَا كَانَتْ هذِه لِتُقَاتِلَ! ! ثُمَّ قَالَ: الحَقْ خَالِدَ بْنَ الوَلِيدِ فَقُلْ لَهُ: لَا تَقْتُلْ ذُريَّةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا".
