1549. Ibn ‘Āšim Al-Muzanī narrated from his father – and he was a Companion – who said: “When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ dispatched an army or battalion, he would say to them: ‘If you see a Masjid, or hear someone calling the Adhān, then do not kill anyone.’” (Da’if) This Hadīth is Gharīb, and it is a Hadīth of Ibn ‘Uyainah.

Arabic text

١٥٤٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْعَدَنِيُّ الْمَكِّيُّ، وَيُكْنَى بِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ الرَّجُلِ الصَّالِحِ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ نَوْفَلِ بْنِ مُسَاحِقٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عِصَامٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ، قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا بَعَثَ جَيْشًا أَوْ سَرِيَّةً يَقُولُ لَهُمْ: إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مَسْجِدًا أَوْ سَمِعْتُمْ مُؤَذِّنًا فَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَحَدًا» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَهُوَ حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ.

Commentary

A mosque and call to prayer (Adhān) are signs of Islam, and shows the presence of Muslims in that habitation, so the place where there is a Masjid or call for prayer is heard, should not be attacked.
