English translation

2633. Ibn ‘Awn said: “I wrote to Nāfi’ asking him about calling the idolators (to accept Islam) before battle. He replied to me: ‘It was in the early days of Islam, and Allāh’s Prophet ﷺ initiated a surprise attack on Banū Al-Muṣṭalaq, taking them completely by surprise, and they were taking their cattle to the water to drink. He killed the fighters, and took captives. On that day, Juwairiyah bint Al-Ḥārith was captured. 'Abdullāh narrated that to me, and he was part of that army." (Saḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: This is an outstanding Hadīth. Ibn 'Awn narrated it from Nāfi', and no one shared with him in (narrating) it.

Arabic text

2633 - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى نَافِعٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ دُعَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ عِنْدَ الْقِتَالِ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَقَدْ «أَغَارَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَهُمْ غَارُّونَ وَأَنْعَامُهُمْ تُسْقَى عَلَى الْمَاءِ، فَقَتَلَ مُقَاتِلَتَهُمْ وَسَبَى سَبْيَهُمْ، وَأَصَابَ يَوْمَئِذٍ جُوَيْرِيَةَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «هَذَا حَدِيثٌ نَبِيلٌ، رَوَاهُ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، وَلَمْ يُشْرِكْهُ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ»
