[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say to us, "When you fight against the polytheists, kill their elders, for they have the most corrupt hearts."  

الطبراني:٧٠٣٧ – حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ هَارُونَ ثنا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ ؓ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَنَا «إِذَا قَاتَلْتُمُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَاقْتُلُوا شُيُوخَهُمْ فَإِنَّ أَلْيَنَهُمْ قُلُوبًا شَرْخُهُمْ»
