Sunan Ibn Majah 2857 (Book 24, Hadith 105) #32211
Fighting in the Name of Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sent a military detachment and instructed them to fight in the name of Allah, not to mutilate, be treacherous, steal from spoils of war or kill children.

It was narrated that Safwan bin 'Assil said: "The Messenger of Allah sent us in a military detachment and said: 'Go in the Name of Allah, and in the cause of Allah. Fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Do not mutilate, do not be treacherous, do not steal from the spoils of war, and do not kill children.’"
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَطِيَّةُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَبُو رَوْقٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْغَرِيفِ، عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ، قَالَ بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ سِيرُوا بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَاتِلُوا مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ تُمَثِّلُوا وَلاَ تَغْدِرُوا وَلاَ تَغُلُّوا وَلاَ تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا
