سَرِيَّةُ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ؓ بَعْدَ الْفَتْحِ إِلَى بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ مِنْ كِنَانَةَ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَالِدًا ؓ إِلَى بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ وَذَلِكَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّامِنَةِ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ أَثْنَاءَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ، فِي ثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ وَخَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا يَدْعُو إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَيْسَ مُقَاتِلًا فَسَارَ خَالِدٌ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى مَاءٍ مِنْ مِيَاهِ بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ فَخَرَجُوا عَلَيْهِ بِالسِّلَاحِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: ضَعُوا السِّلَاحَ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَسْلَمُوا، فَلَمَّا وَضَعُوا السِّلَاحَ أَمَرَهُمْ خَالِدٌ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَكُتِّفُوا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى السَّيْفِ فَقَتَلَ مَنْ قَتَلَ مِنْهُمْ، فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَضِبَ، وَتَبَرَّأَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ خَالِدٌ. وَأَرْسَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى الْقَوْمِ وَمَعَهُ الْمَالُ يُودِي بِهِ الْقَتْلَى، فَفَعَلَ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ دَمٌ حَتَّى وَدَاهُ وَبَقِيَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْمَالِ فَتَرَكَهُ لِلْقَوْمِ احْتِيَاطًا. وَقَدِ اعْتَذَرَ خَالِدٌ عَنْ قَتْلِ مَنْ قَتَلَ بِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَقْتُلْهُمْ إِلَّا عَنْ رَأْيِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُذَافَةَ أَحَدِ كِبَارِ الصَّحَابَةِ، وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ لَمْ يُحْسِنُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا فَقَالُوا صَبَأْنَا صَبَأْنَا.
Translation
✧ The Detachment of Khālid b. al-Walīd ؓ after the Conquest to Banū Jadhīmah of Kinānah The Prophet ﷺ sent Khālid ؓ to Banū Jadhīmah, and that was in the eighth year of the Hijrah during the conquest of Makkah, with three hundred and fifty men, calling to Islam, not to fight. Khālid marched until he came to a water source among the waters of Banū Jadhīmah. They came out against him with weapons, so he said to them: "Put down your weapons, for the people have embraced Islam." When they put down their weapons, Khālid then ordered them to be bound, then he exposed them to the sword and killed those he killed among them. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ learned of that, he became angry and disavowed what Khālid had done. The Prophet ﷺ sent to the people, and with him was wealth to pay blood money for the slain. He did so until no blood remained unrequited, and some of the wealth remained, so he left it for the people as a precaution. Khālid excused himself for killing those he killed by saying that he did not kill them except according to the opinion of ʿAbd Allāh b. Ḥudhāfah, one of the senior Companions, and that when he came upon the people, they did not know how to say "āmannā" (we believe), so they said "ṣabaʾnā ṣabaʾnā" (we have become Sabians, we have become Sabians).
