3015. Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا: رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا During some of the Ghazawāt of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, a woman was found killed, so Allāh's Messenger ﷺ forbade the killing of women and children.

Arabic text

3015 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَكُمْ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: وُجِدَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مَقْتُولَةً فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «فَنَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ»

(1) (H. 3012) Hima was a pre-Islāmic institution by means of which the chief of the tribe took a pasture for his animals preventing others from grazing their animals in it while he himself could graze his animals in the others' pastures. Islām cancelled such an institution and allowed it only for grazing the animals collected as Zakāt.
