Chapter 15 · Jihad (Kitab Al-Jihad)فِي قَتْلِ الأَسِيرِ بِالنَّبْلِ
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنْ ابْنِ تِعْلَى، قَالَ: غَزَوْنَا مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ فَأُتِيَ بِأَرْبِعَةِ أَعْلَاجٍ مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ فَقُتِلُوا صَبْرًا، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: قَالَ لَنَا غَيْرُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، قَالَ: بِالنَّبْلِ صَبْرًا فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الصَّبْرِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ كَانَتْ دَجَاجَةٌ مَا صَبَرْتُهَا ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ فَأَعْتَقَ أَرْبَعَ رِقَابٍ.

To Kill A Captive With An Arrow
We fought along with Abdur Rahman Ibn Khalid ibn al-Walid. Four infidels from the enemy were brought to him. He commanded about them and they were killed in confinement. Abu Dawud said: The narrators other than Saeed reported from Ibn Wahb in this tradition: (killed him) with arrows in confinement. When Abu Ayyub al-Ansari رضی اللہ عنہ was informed about it, he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم prohibiting to kill in confinement. By Him in Whose hands my soul is, if there were a hen, I would not kill it in confinement. Abdur-Rahman bin Khalid bin al-Walid was informed about it (the Prophet's prohibition). He set four slaves free.
