حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً وُجِدَتْ، فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِي النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، مَقْتُولَةً؛ فَأَنْكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَتْلَ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ.
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
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)
