Arabic text

2841 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، رَأَى امْرَأَةً مَقْتُولَةً فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ «فَنَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ، وَالصِّبْيَانِ»

Killing women and children in war is prohibited. Similarly, killing elderly people, monks and those who do not participate in war is also forbidden.
