The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an expedition to Khath'am. Some people sought protection by having recourse to prostration, and were hastily killed. When the Prophet ﷺ heard that, he ordered half the blood-wit to be paid for them, saying: I am not responsible for any Muslim who stays among polytheists. They asked: Why, Messenger of Allah? He said: Their fires should not be visible to one another. Abu Dawud said: Hushaim, Ma'mar, Khalid b. al-Wasiti and a group of narrators have also narrated it, but did not mention Jarir.

the Messenger of Allah sent a detachment jof troops to some people of Khath'am, who sought to protect themselves by prostrating (to demonstrate that they were Muslims), but they were killed. The Messenger of Allah ruled that half the Diyah should be paid, and said: "I am innocent of any Muslim who (lives with) a Mushrik.' Then the Messenger of Allah said: "Their fires should not be visible to one another."'

From Jarir bin 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a military expedition to Khath'am. So some people (living there) sought safety by prostrating, but they were met quickly and killed. News of this reached the Prophet ﷺ upon which he commanded that they be given half of the 'Aql (blood money). And he said: "I am free from every Muslim that lives among the idolaters." They said:"O Messenger of Allah: How is that ?" He said: "They should not see each other's campfires."

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent Khalid bin Al-Walid to a group of people from Khath'am, and they sought protection by prostrating themselves, but he killed them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ pardoned them for half of the blood money, and then he said, "I am innocent from every Muslim who lives with the polytheists and does not see their punishment."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah sent an army to Khath'am. When the horses surrounded them, they clung to prayer. One man from them was killed, so the Messenger of Allah gave them half of his intellect through their prayer and said, "I am innocent of every Muslim who associates partners with Allah."
