Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبِرْتِيُّ ثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْحَيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ فِي الْخَيْلِ يَوْمَ النَّهْرَوَانِ مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ فَلَمَّا أَنْ فَرَغَ مِنْهُمْ وَقَتَلَهُمْ لَمْ يَقْطَعْ رَأْسًا وَلَمْ يَكْشِفْ عَوْرَةً
English Translation
Discussion of the treatment of rebels (bughat) in Islamic law — they are fought only to end their rebellion, their wounded are not killed, their fleeing are not pursued, and their property is not confiscated. Ali ibn Abi Talib set the precedent for this merciful treatment after the Battle of the Camel.
