حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ بْن أَحْمَد وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْهُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَخَذَ امْرَأَةً أَوْ سَبَاهَا فَنَازَعَتْهُ قَائِمَ سَيْفِهِ فَقَتَلَهَا فَمَرَّ عَلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُخْبِرَ بِأَمْرِهَا فَنَهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2316
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that a man seized a woman or tried to take her prisoner, but she tried to grab his sword, so he killed her. The Prophet (PBUH)passed by her and was told what had happened to her, and he forbade killing women.
