أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ عَنْ قَيْسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً إِلَی قَوْمٍ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ فَاسْتَعْصَمُوا بِالسُّجُودِ فَقُتِلُوا فَقَضَی رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنِصْفِ الْعَقْلِ وَقَالَ إِنِّي بَرِيئٌ مِنْ کُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ مَعَ مُشْرِکٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا لَا تَرَائَی نَارَاهُمَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4795
It was narrated from Qais that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sent a detachment of 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Their fires should not be visible to one another.” (Da`if)
