English translation

7189. Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما: The Prophet ﷺ sent (an army unit under the command of) Khālid bin Al-Walīd to fight against the tribe of Banī Jadhīma and those people could not express themselves by saying, “Aslamnā,”(1) but they said, “Ṣabā’nā! Ṣabā’nā!”(2) Khālid kept on killing some of them and taking some others as captives, and he gave a captive to everyone of us and ordered everyone of us to kill his captive.(3) I said, “By Allāh, I shall not kill my captive and none of my companions shall kill their captives!" Then we mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "O Allāh! I am free from what Khālid bin Al-Walid has done," and repeated it twice.

Arabic text

7189 - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَالِدًا ح وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَالِدَ بْنَ الوَلِيدِ إِلَى بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ، فَلَمْ يُحْسِنُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا، فَقَالُوا: صَبَأْنَا صَبَأْنَا، فَجَعَلَ خَالِدٌ يَقْتُلُ وَيَأْسِرُ، وَدَفَعَ إِلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا أَسِيرَهُ، فَأَمَرَ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلَ أَسِيرَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَقْتُلُ أَسِيرِي، وَلاَ يَقْتُلُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي أَسِيرَهُ، فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الوَلِيدِ» مَرَّتَيْنِ
