Hanzala al-Katib (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a battle (war). We passed by a slain woman, and people had gathered there. (When he saw you) the people made space for you, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "She was not among those who fight." (Then why was she killed?) After that, he said to a man: Go to Khalid bin Walid and tell him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commands you not to kill women, children, laborers, and servants under any circumstances.

This chain also narrates from Rabah bin Rabee’ in the same manner. Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah says: Sufyan Thawri used to make a mistake in this.

It was narrated that Usamah bin Said said:`“The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sent me to a village called Ubna, and said:“Go to Ubna in the morning and burn it.’”

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) burned the palm trees of Banu Nadir, and cut down Buwairah (the name of their garden). Then Allah revealed the words:`“What you (O Muslims) cut down of the palm trees (of the enemy), or you left them standing...” [59:5]

Narrated from Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) burned and cut down the date-palm trees of the tribe of Banu Nadir. Regarding this, a poet says: «فهان على سراة بني لؤي حريق بالبويرة مستطير» "It was easy for the chiefs of Banu Lu'ayy to set fire in Buwairah, a fire that was spreading everywhere."

It was narrated from Ayas bin Salamah bin Akwa’ that his father said:`“We attacked, Hawazin at the time of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with Aby Bakr. He awarded me a slave girl from Banu Fazarah, among the most beautiful of the Arabs, who was wearing an animal skin of hers. I did not divest her of her clothing until I reached Al-Madinah. Then the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) met me in the marketplace, and said: ‘By Alla, give her to me.’ So I gave her to him, and he sent her as a ransom for some of the Muslim prisoners who were in Makkah.”

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said that a horse of his went out and the enemy captured it. Then the Muslims defeated them and it was returned to him. (That was) during the time of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). He said:`“And a slave of his absconded and joined up with the Romans, then the Muslims defeated them, and Khalid bin Walid returned him to me, after the death of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ).”

It was narrated that Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani said:`“A man from (the tribe of) Ashja’ died in Khaibar, and the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: ‘Offer the funeral prayer for your companion.’ The people found that strange.* When he saw that, he said: ‘Your companion stole from the spoils of war (when fighting) in the cause of Allah.’”

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr said:`“There was a man called Kirkah in charge of the goods of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), who died. The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: ‘He is in Hell.’ They went and looked, and found him wearing a garment or a cloak that he had stolen from the spoils of war.”

It was narrated that ‘Ubadah bin Samit said:`“The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) led us in prayer on the Day of Hunain, beside a camel that was part of the spoils of war. Then he took something from the camel, and extracted from it a hair, which he placed between two of his fingers. Then he said: ‘O people, this is part of your spoils of war. Hand over a needle and thread and anything greater than that or less than that. For stealing from the spoils of war will be a source of shame for those who do it, and ignominy and Fire, on the Day of Resurrection.’”
