حَدِيثُ رَبَاحِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، ١٥٩٩٢ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْمُرَقِّعُ بْنُ صَيْفِيٍّ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَبَاحِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ، أَخِي حَنْظَلَةَ الْكَاتِبِ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّهُ، ، خَرَجَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا، وَعَلَى مُقَدِّمَتِهِ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، فَمَرَّ رَبَاحٌ وَأَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مَقْتُولَةٍ، مِمَّا أَصَابَتِ الْمُقَدِّمَةُ، فَوَقَفُوا يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهَا، وَيَتَعَجَّبُونَ مِنْ خَلْقِهَا، حَتَّى لَحِقَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، فَانْفَرَجُوا عَنْهَا، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " مَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ لِتُقَاتِلَ " فَقَالَ لِأَحَدِهِمْ: " الْحَقْ خَالِدًا فَقُلْ لَهُ: لَا تَقْتُلُوا (١) ذُرِّيَّةً، وَلَا عَسِيفًا " (٢)، ،

English translation

It is narrated from Rabah bin Rabi’ that once he set out with the Prophet (ﷺ) for a battle. Khalid bin Walid was appointed over the vanguard. During this time, the companions passed by a woman who had been killed by the vanguard. They stopped and began to marvel at her beauty. Meanwhile, the Prophet (ﷺ) also arrived there on his mount. The people made way for the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) stopped by her body and said: "She would not have participated in the fighting." Then he said to a companion: "Go to Khalid and tell him not to kill children and laborers."
