حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ وَيَحْيَی بْنُ مَعِينٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نِيَارٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ يَحْيَی إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْمُشْرِکِينَ لَحِقَ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيُقَاتِلَ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا فَقَالَ إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ بِمُشْرِکٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2732
Aishah said (this is the version of narrator Yahya). A man from the polytheists accompanied the Prophet ﷺ to fight along with him. He said “Go back. Both the narrators (Musaddad and Yahya) then agreed. The Prophet said “We do not want any help from a polytheist. ”
