باب تَأْمِيرِ الإِمَامِ الأُمَرَاءَ عَلَى الْبُعُوثِ وَوَصِيَّتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ بِآدَابِ الْغَزْوِ وَغَيْرِهَا
Sahih Muslim 1731a, b
It is narrated from Sulaiman bin Buraida through his father that when the Apostle of Allah ( صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) appointed anyone as leader of an army or detachment he would especially exhort him to fear Allah and to be good to the Muslims who were with him. He would say, ‘fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies; do not kill the children. When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. Then invite them to migrate from their lands to the land of the Muhajireen and inform them that, if they do so, they shall have all the privileges and obligations of the Muhajireen. If they refuse to migrate, tell them that they will have the status of Bedouin Muslims and will be subjected to the Commands of Allah like other Muslims, but they will not get any share from the spoils of war or Fai' except when they actually fight with the Muslims (against the disbelievers). If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help, and fight them. When you lay siege to a fort and the besieged appeal to you for protection in the name of Allah and His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), do not accord to them the guarantee of Allah and His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), but accord to them your own guarantee and the guarantee of your companions for it is a lesser sin that the security given by you or your companions be disregarded than that the security granted in the name of Allah and His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) be violated. When you besiege a fort and the besieged want you to let them out in accordance with Allah's Command, do not let them come out in accordance with His Command, but do so at your (own) command, for you do not know whether or not you will be able to carry out Allah's behest with regard to them.
امام صاحب اپنے دو اساتذہ کی سندوں سے نقل کرتے ہیں کہ ہمیں سفیان نے حدیث لکھوائی۔
Imam Sahab apne do ustadon ki sanadon se naqal karte hain ke humein Sufyan ne hadith likhwayi.
