It was narrated that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him] said to the Muslim army:
*** “Go out in the name of Allaah and by the help of Allaah, following the way of the Messenger of Allaah. Do not kill any old man, infant, child or woman… spread goodness and do good, for Allaah loves those who do good.” ***
[Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2614; its isnaad includes Khaalid ibn al-Faraz, of whom Ibn Hajar said in al-Taqreeb, he is maqbool [acceptable] i.e., if there are corroborating reports]
This is supported by the advice which Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq [may Allaah be pleased with him] gave to the commander of his army:
*** “I advise you of ten things: do not kill a woman, or a child, or any old person, or cut down any fruit trees…” ***
[al-Muwatta’, 982, Kitaab al-Jihaad].
The messenger of Allah said:
Ibn Umar said:
*** “I saw the body of a slain woman during one of the battles of the Prophet [may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him], so he forbade the killing of women and children.” [Sahîh al-Bûkhârî and Sahîh Muslim]
Abû Dâwûd relates from Rabâh b. Rabî` with an authentic chain of narrators that he said:
*** “We were with Allah’s Messenger [peace be upon him] during a battle and we saw people gathered together. He dispatched a man to find out why they were gathered. The man returned and said: ‘They are gathered around a slain woman.’ So Allah’s Messenger [peace be upon him] said: ‘She should not have been attacked!’ Khâlid b. al-Walîd was leading the forces, so he dispatched a man to him saying: ‘Tell Khâlid not to kill women or laborers’.”
In another narration from Ibn Mâjah, it is related that Allah’s Messenger [may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said:
*** “Tell him not kill children or laborers.”
Abû Dâwûd relates from Anas b. Mâlik that Allah’s Messenger [peace be upon him] would say the following words to his troops before sending them to war:
*** “Go forward in the name of Allah. Do not kill an elderly person, nor a small child, nor a woman, and do not exceed the bounds.”
In the Muwatta’, it is related from Yahyâ b. Sa`îd that Abû Bakr sent an army to Syria and went out to give them words of encouragement. He walked alongside Yazîd b. Abî Sufyân, then said:
*** “You are going to find a group of people who have devoted themselves to the worship of Allah [i.e. monks], so leave them to what they are doing.”
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "by Allah, he is not a believer! by Allah, he is not a believer! by Allah, he is not a believer!" it was asked, "Who is that Oh Messenger of Allah?" He said, "One whose neighbor does not feel safe from his evil"
