Chapter: Regarding Killing Women.

باب فِي قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ

English narration

Narrated by رباح بن الربيع التميمي

Narrated Rabah ibn Rabi: 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.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْمُرَقَّعِ بْنِ صَيْفِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَبَاحِ بْنِ رَبِيعٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَرَأَى النَّاسَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ عَلَى شَيْءٍ ، فَبَعَثَ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ : انْظُرْ عَلَامَ اجْتَمَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ : عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ قَتِيلٍ ، فَقَالَ : مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ لِتُقَاتِلَ قَالَ : وَعَلَى الْمُقَدِّمَةِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، فَبَعَثَ رَجُلًا فَقَالَ : قُلْ لِخَالِدٍ لَا يَقْتُلَنَّ امْرَأَةً وَلَا عَسِيفًا .
