amongst them.' The Prophet then said, 'The first army amongst' my followers who will invade Caesar's City will
be forgiven their sins.' I asked, 'Will I be one of them, O Allah's Apostle?' He replied in the negative."
Sahih Muslim, Book 019, Number 4294:
"It has been reported from Sulaiman b. Buraid through his father that when the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) 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
Muhairs and inform them that, if they do so, they shall have all the privileges and obligations of the Muhajirs. 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…."
The following deals with the permissibility of killing women and children in the night raids (provided
it is not deliberate):
Sahih Muslim, Book 019, Number 4321:
It is reported on the authority of Sa'b b. Jaththama that the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him), when
asked about the women and children of the polytheists being killed during the night raid, said: They are from
them.
Bukhari 4.256: 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."
Sahih Muslim, Book 020, Number 4645:
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
said (to him): Abu Sa'id, whoever cheerfully accepts Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion and Muhammad as
his Apostle is necessarily entitled to enter Paradise. He (Abu Sa'id) wondered at it and said: Messenger of
Allah, repeat it for me. He (the Messenger of Allah) did that and said: There is another act which elevates the
position of a man in Paradise to a grade one hundred (higher), and the elevation between one grade and the
other is equal to the height of the heaven from the earth. He (Abu Sa'id) said: What is that act? He replied: Jihad
in the way of Allah! Jihad in the way of Allah!
Sahih Muslim, Book 020, Number 4646:
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Qatada that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) stood up among them
(his Companions) to deliver his sermon in which he told them that Jihad in the way of Allah and belief in Allah
(with all His Attributes) are the most meritorious of acts. A man stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, do you
think that if I am killed in the way of Allah, my sins will be blotted out from me? The Messenger of Allah
(pbuh) said: Yes, in case you are killed in the way of Allah and you were patient and sincere and you always
fought facing the enemy, never turning your back upon him.
Sahih Muslim, Book 020, Number 4681:
The tradition has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah b. Qais. He heard it from his father who, while
facing the enemy, reported that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: Surely, the gates of Paradise are under the
shadows of the swords. A man in a shabby condition got up and said; Abu Musa, did you hear the Messenger of
Allah (pbuh) say this? He said: Yes. (The narrator said): He returned to his friends and said: I greet you (a
farewell greeting). Then he broke the sheath of his sword, threw it away, advanced with his (naked) sword
towards the enemy and fought (them) with it until he was slain.
Bukhari, 4.266A: Narrated Salim Abu An-Nadr:
