{{ | Hadiths record that Muhammad disapproved of the killing of women and children during expeditions (also {{Muslim|19|4319}}). | ||
The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)." I also heard the Prophet saying, "The institution of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle."}} | {{Quote|{{Bukhari|4|52|257}}|During some of the Ghazawat of the Prophet (ﷺ) a woman was found killed. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) disapproved the killing of women and children.}} | ||
Although when asked, he excused the probable exposure of women and children to danger during an attack. | |||
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|4|52|256}}|Narrated As-Sab bin Jaththama: The Prophet passed by me at a place called Al-Abwa or Waddan, and was asked whether it was permissible to attack the pagan warriors at night with the probability of exposing their women and children to danger. '''The Prophet replied, "They (i.e. women and children) are from them (i.e. pagans)."''' I also heard the Prophet saying, "The institution of Hima is invalid except for Allah and His Apostle."}} | |||
{{Quote|{{Muslim|19|4322}}|It is narrated by Sa'b b. Jaththama that he said (to the Holy Prophet): Messenger of Allah, we kill the children of the polytheists during the night raids. He said: They are from them.}} | {{Quote|{{Muslim|19|4322}}|It is narrated by Sa'b b. Jaththama that he said (to the Holy Prophet): Messenger of Allah, we kill the children of the polytheists during the night raids. He said: They are from them.}} | ||
{{Quote|{{Muslim|19|4323}}|Sa'b b. Jaththama has narrated that the Prophet (may peace be upon him) asked: What about the children of polytheists killed by the cavalry during the night raid? He said: They are from them.}} | {{Quote|{{Muslim|19|4323}}|Sa'b b. Jaththama has narrated that the Prophet (may peace be upon him) asked: What about the children of polytheists killed by the cavalry during the night raid? He said: They are from them.}} | ||
A more specific hadith quotes the same narrator stating that this involved women and children who were trampled over with horses during the attack: | |||
{{Quote|{{Al Tirmidhi||3|19|1570}}|Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: | |||
"I was informed by As-Sa'b bin Jaththamah who said: " I said: "O Messenger of Allah our horses trampled over women and children of the idolaters." He said: "They are from their fathers.'" | |||
[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. }} | |||
