Sunan an-Nasai 4780 (Book 45, Hadith 75) #19313
The Prophet's Ruling on Diyah and Living with Non-Believers

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad sent a group of troops to some people who were killed despite demonstrating their faith in Islam. He ruled that half the Diyah should be paid and declared himself innocent of any Muslim living with a non-believer. He also said that their fires should not be visible to one another.

It was narrated from Anas that: the Messenger of Allah sent a detachment jof troops to some people of Khath'am, who sought to protect themselves by prostrating (to demonstrate that they were Muslims), but they were killed. The Messenger of Allah ruled that half the Diyah should be paid, and said: "I am innocent of any Muslim who (lives with) a Mushrik'. Then the Messenger of Allah said: "Their fires should not be visible to one another"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً إِلَى قَوْمٍ مِنْ خَثْعَمٍ فَاسْتَعْصَمُوا بِالسُّجُودِ فَقُتِلُوا فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِنِصْفِ الْعَقْلِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ مَعَ مُشْرِكٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَلاَ لاَ تَرَاءَى نَارَاهُمَا
