حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَتَلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَأَرْسَلُوا رَسُولًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْرَمُونَ الدِّيَةَ بِجِيفَتِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّهُ لَخَبِيثٌ خَبِيثُ الدِّيَةِ خَبِيثُ الْجِيفَةِ فَخَلَّى بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2442
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Muslims killed a ?nushrik man on the day of al-Khandaq, and they sent an envoy to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), offering a ransom for his body. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "It is evil; an evil ransom and an evil body. Let them take it."
