Jami at-Tirmidhi 1408 (Book 16, Hadith 24) #26988
Fighting in the Name of Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised commanders of armies to have Taqwa of Allah and be good to the Muslims who are with them, and to fight in the Name of Allah without treachery, mutilation or killing a child.

Narrated Buraidah: from his father who said: "Whenever the Messenger of Allah dispatched a commander of an army he would exhort him personally; that he should have Taqwa of Allah, and regarding those of the Muslims who are with him; that he should be good to them. He would say: 'Fight in the Name of Allah and in Allah's curse. Fight those who disbelieve in Allah and fight, do not be treacherous, nor mutilate, nor kill a child".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا بَعَثَ أَمِيرًا عَلَى جَيْشٍ أَوْصَاهُ فِي خَاصَّةِ نَفْسِهِ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرًا فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اغْزُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَاتِلُوا مَنْ كَفَرَ بِاللَّهِ اغْزُوا وَلاَ تَغُلُّوا وَلاَ تَغْدِرُوا وَلاَ تُمَثِّلُوا وَلاَ تَقْتُلُوا وَلِيدًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَشَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وَأَنَسٍ وَسَمُرَةَ وَالْمُغِيرَةِ وَيَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ وَأَبِي أَيُّوبَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ بُرَيْدَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَكَرِهَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ الْمُثْلَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how a commander should behave when leading an army. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH advised commanders to have taqwa, which means fear and reverence for God, as well as being kind and compassionate towards their fellow Muslims. He also instructed them not to be treacherous or commit any acts of mutilation or killing children during battle. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for justice even when fighting against our enemies; we must never resort to unjust tactics such as treachery or harming innocent people like children. We must also remember that God is watching over us at all times so we must remain mindful of His commands even in difficult situations like war.
