حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَغَارَ عَلَى بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَهُمْ غَارُّونَ، وَأَنْعَامُهُمْ تُسْقَى عَلَى الْمَاءِ، فَقَتَلَ مُقَاتِلَتَهُمْ، وَسَبَى ذَرَارِيَّهُمْ، وَأَصَابَ يَوْمَئِذٍ جُوَيْرِيَةَ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ.
Narrated Ibn ‘Aûn: (I wrote a letter to Nâfi‘ and Nâfi‘ wrote in reply to my letter) that the Prophet ﷺ had (suddenly) attacked Banî Mustaliq (without warning while they were heedless) and their cattle were being watered at the places of water. Their fighting men were killed and their women and children were taken as captives; the Prophet ﷺ got Juwairîya on that day. (Nâfi‘ said that Ibn ‘Umar had told him this narration) and that Ibn ‘Umar was in that army. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 717, Vol. 3 )

حديث أَبِي مُوسى وَمُعَاذٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَدَّهُ أَبَا موسى وَمُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ: يَسِّرَا وَلَا تُعَسِّرَا، وَبَشِّرَا وَلَا تُنَفِّرَا، وَتَطَاوَعَا.
The Prophet ﷺ sent his father, (Abû Mûsa) and Mu'âdh to Yemen and said to both of them, "Facilitate things for the people (be kind and lenient) and do not make things difficult (for people), and give good tidings, and do not repulse them (i.e. make them to run away from Islâm), and both of you should obey each other." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 632, Vol. 5 )

Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "A flag will be fixed on the Day of Resurrection for (every) betrayer (perfidious person) and it will be announced (publicly in front of everybody), 'This is the betrayal (perfidy) of so-and-so the son of so-and-so.'"

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Every betrayer (treacherous and perfidious person) will have a flag on the Day of Resurrection and that flag would be fixed, so that the betrayer (perfidious person) might be recognized by it." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 410, Vol. 4 ).

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Do not wish to meet the enemy, and in case you meet (face) the enemy then be patient.” ( Sahih Al-Bukhāri, Hadīth No. 266 (B), Vol. 4)
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى كَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، حِينَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْحرُورِيَّةِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَيَّامِهِ الَّتِي لَقِيَ فِيهَا الْعَدُوَّ انْتَظَرَ حَتَّى مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالَ: أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَاتَمَنَّوْا لِقَاءَ الْعَدُوِّ، وَسَلُوا اللهَ الْعَافِيَةَ، فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاصْبِرُوا، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابِ، وَمُجْرِيَ السَّحَابِ، وَهَازِمَ الأَحْزَابِ اهْزِمْهُمْ وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ.
I was ‘Umar’s clerk. Once ‘Abdullāh bin Abî ‘Aûfa wrote a letter to ‘Umar bin ‘Ubaidullāh when he proceeded to Al-Haruriya. I read in it that Allāh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم in one of his military expeditions against the enemy, waited till the sun declined and then he got up amongst the people saying, “O people! Do not wish to meet the enemy, and ask Allāh تعالى for safety, but when you meet (face) the enemy, be patient, and remember that Paradise is under the shades of swords.”Then he said, “O Allāh, the Revealer of the Holy Book, and the Mover of the clouds and the Defeater of the confederates, defeat them, and grant us victory over them.” ( Sahih Al-Bukhāri, Hadīth No. 266 (A), Vol. 4)

حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً وُجِدَتْ، فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِي النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، مَقْتُولَةً؛ فَأَنْكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَتْلَ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ.
During some of the Ghazawat (holy battles) of Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, a woman was found killed, so Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade the killing of women and children. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 258, Vol. 4)
