Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ فَجَاءَ وَفْدُ بُزَاخَةَ أَسَدٍ وَغَطَفَانَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ يَسْأَلُونَهُ الصُّلْحَ فَخَيَّرَهُمْ بَيْنَ الْحَرْبِ الْمُجْلِيَةِ أَوِ السَّلْمِ الْمُخْزِيَةِ
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.
