Chapter: The Prohibition Of Fighting A Person Who Seeks Protection By Prostrating.

باب النَّهْىِ عَنْ قَتْلِ، مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِالسُّجُودِ

English narration

Narrated by جرير بن عبد الله البجلي

Narrated Jarir ibn Abdullah: 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, Mamar, Khalid bin al-Wasiti and a group of narrators have also narrated it, but did not mention Jarir.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيل ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً إِلَى خَثْعَمٍ فَاعْتَصَمَ نَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ بِالسُّجُودِ فَأَسْرَعَ فِيهِمُ الْقَتْلَ ، قَالَ : فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ لَهُمْ بِنِصْفِ الْعَقْلِ وَقَالَ : "

أَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ يُقِيمُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِمَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا تَرَاءَى نَارَاهُمَا

" ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَاهُ هُشَيْمٌ ، وَمَعْمَرٌ ، وَخَالِدٌ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، وجماعة لم يذكروا جريرا .
