حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ عَنْ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ لَهِيعَةَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْوَرْدِ صَاحِبَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِيَّاکُمْ وَالسَّرِيَّةَ الَّتِي إِنْ لَقِيَتْ فَرَّتْ وَإِنْ غَنِمَتْ غَلَّتْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2829
It was narrated that Lahi’ah bin ‘Uqbah said: “I heard Abul-Ward, the Companion of the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H say:‘Beware of the troop which, when it meets (the enemy) it flees, and when it takes spoils of war, it steals from it.’” (Da‘if)
