3012. Narrated Aṣ-Ṣa'b bin Jaṭṭhāmaرضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ passed by me at a place called Al-Abwā' or Waddān, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack Al-Mushrikūn' warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet ﷺ replied, "They (i.e., women and children) are from them (i.e., Al-Mushrikūn).” I also heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, “The institution of Hima(1) is invalid except for Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ.”
