“We went out to fight alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we passed by a slain woman whom the people had gathered around. They parted (to let the Prophet ﷺ through) and he said: ‘This (woman) was not one of those who were fighting.’ Then he said to a man: ‘Go to Khalid bin Walid and tell him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commands you: “Do not kill any children or women, or any (farm) laborer.’” Another chain reports a similar hadith.

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَرَرْنَا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَقْتُولَةٍ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهَا النَّاسُ فَأَفْرَجُوا لَهُ فَقَالَ (مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ تُقَاتِلُ فِيمَنْ يُقَاتِلُ) ثُمَّ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ (انْطَلِقْ إِلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكَ يَقُولُ لاَ تَقْتُلَنَّ ذُرِّيَّةً وَلاَ عَسِيفًا) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْمُرَقَّعِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَبَاحِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ يُخْطِئُ الثَّوْرِيُّ فِيهِ

[AI] "We accompanied the Prophet ﷺ and passed by a murdered woman who had gathered a crowd around her. He said, 'Give her some space.' Then he said to a man, 'Go to Khalid ibn al-Walid and tell him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ orders you not to kill any offspring or captives.'"

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَمَرَرْنَا عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَقْتُولَةٍ وَقَدِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهَا النَّاسُ قَالَ فَأَفْرَجُوا لَهُ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ تُقَاتَلُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ لَا تَقْتُلَ ذُرِّيَّةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا

[AI] "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a battle, and at the forefront of the people was Khalid bin Al-Walid. Suddenly, they came across a dead woman on the road and they were amazed by her physical appearance, as she had been struck by the attack at the forefront. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached her and stood over her, saying, 'Look, she was not fighting.' Then he said, 'Catch up with Khalid and do not kill any offspring or a captured person.'"

«كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ وَعَلَى مُقَدِّمَةِ النَّاسِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ مَقْتُولَةٌ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَجَعَلُوا يَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْ خَلْقِهَا قَدْ أَصَابَتْهَا الْمُقَدِّمَةُ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ » هَاهْ مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ تُقَاتِلُ « ثُمَّ قَالَ » أَدْرِكْ خَالِدًا فَلَا تَقْتُلُوا ذُرِّيَّةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا «

[AI] 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."

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَمَرَّ بِامْرَأَةٍ مَقْتُولَةٍ وَالنَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ «مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ لِتُقَاتِلَ أَدْرِكْ خَالِدًا فَقُلْ لَهُ لَا تَقْتُلْ ذُرِّيَّةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا»

[AI] "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.'"

غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَرَرْنَا بِامْرَأَةٍ قَدْ قُتِلَتْ لَهَا خَلْقٌ وَالنَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا فَفَرَّجُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ لِتُقَاتِلُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَالْحَقْ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ فَقُلْ لَا تَقْتُلْ ذُرِّيَّةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا

[AI] 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»

[AI] 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."

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»

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2669)

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَرَأَى النَّاسَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ فَبَعَثَ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ انْظُرْ عَلَى مَا اجْتَمَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ قَتِيلٍ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ لِتُقَاتِلَ قَالَ وَعَلَى الْمُقَدِّمَةِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ فَبَعَثَ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ قُلْ لِخَالِدٍ لَا تَقْتُلَنَّ امْرَأَةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا

"مَا كَانَتْ هَذِه لتُقَاتِلَ أدْرِكْ خَالِدًا، فَقُلْ لَهُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ يأمُرُكَ أنْ لَا تَقْتُلَ ذُرِّيَّةً، وَفِي لَفْظٍ: امْرَأَةً ولا عَسِيفًا".
