: Al-Muwatta Hadith
Hadith 21.11
Prohibition against Killing Women and Children in Military Expeditions
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz wrote to one of his governors, "It has been
passed down to us that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent out a raiding party, he
would say to them, 'Make your raids in the name of Allah in the way of Allah. Fight whoever denies Allah. Do not steal from
the booty, and do not act treacherously. Do not mutilate and do not kill children.' Say the same to your armies and raiding
parties, Allah willing. Peace be upon you."
KINDNESS:
17:24 - And out of kindness lower to them the wing of humility and say: "My Lord! bestow on them
Thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood." 22052206
2205 Cf. xv. 88 and n. 2011. The metaphor is that of a high-flying bird which lowers her wing out of tenderness to her
offspring. There is a double aptness. (1) When the parent was strong and the child was helpless, parental affection
was showered on the child: when the child grows up and is strong, and the parent is helpless, can he do less than
bestow similar tender care on the parent? (2) But more: he must approach the matter with gentle humility: for does not
parental love, remind him of the great love with which Allah cherishes His creatures? There is something here more
than simple human gratitude; it goes up into the highest spiritual region. (17.24)
2206 Note that we are asked to honour our father and mother, not "that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord
thy God giveth thee" (Exod. xx. 12), but upon much higher and more universal grounds, such as befit a perfected
revelation. In the first place, not merely respect, but cherishing kindness, and humility to parents, are commanded. In
the second place, this command is bracketed with the command to worship the One True God. Parental love should
be to us a type of divine love: nothing that we can do can ever really compensate for that which we have received. In
the third place (see next verse) our spiritual advancement is tested by this: we cannot expect Allah's forgiveness if we
are rude or unkind to those who unselfishly brought us up. (17.24)
17:28 - And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which
thou dost expect yet speak to them a word of easy kindness. 2211
2211 You may have to "turn away" from people for two reasons. (1) You may not have the wherewithal with which to
entertain them and give them their rights; or (2) you may have to give them a wide berth because their thoughts are
not as your thoughts. In either case there is no need to speak harshly to them. Your words should be those of "easy
kindness", i.e., the sort of kindness (not merely frigid politeness) which flows from pity and understanding and
smooths over unnecessary difficulties in human intercourse. (17.28)
29:8 - We have enjoined on man kindness to parents: but if they (either of them) strive (to force)
thee to join with Me (in worship) anything of which thou hast no knowledge obey them not. Ye
have (all) to return to Me and I will tell you (the truth) of all that ye did. 34303431
