١- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ أَظُنُّهُ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ سَرِيَّةً دَعَاهُمْ فَأَجْلَسَهُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ سِيرُوا بِسْمِ اللهِ وَبِاللهِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ لا تَغُلُّوا وَلا تُمَثِّلُوا وَلا تَغْدِرُوا وَلا تَقْتُلُوا شَيْخاً فَانِياً وَلا صَبِيّاً وَلا امْرَأَةً وَلا تَقْطَعُوا شَجَراً إِلا أَنْ تُضْطَرُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَدْنَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَوْ أَفْضَلِهِمْ نَظَرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَهُوَ جَارٌ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ كَلامَ اللهِ فَإِنْ تَبِعَكُمْ فَأَخُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَإِنْ أَبَى فَأَبْلِغُوهُ مَأْمَنَهُ وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِاللهِ عَلَيْهِ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar - I think - from abu Hamzah al- Thumaliy who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has said that when the Messenger of Allah would decide to dispatch a small group of people for an armed expedition he would call them in his presence, make them sit before him and say to them, ‘March in the name of Allah, with Allah, in the way of Allah and upon the religion (path) of the Messenger of Allah. You must not be excessive, you must not deform people, you must not betray, you must not kill old people, you must not kill children, you must not kill women and you must not cut down trees unless you are forced to do so. If anyone of the Muslims of the lower or higher position expresses sympathy toward a man of the pagans, he is given protection until he hears the words of Allah. If thereafter he followed you he then is your brother in religion and if he refused you then must send him to his safe place and ask Allah for assistance.’”
