وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى - هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ - عَنْ ثَوْرٍ، عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَائِذٍ قَالَ:

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا بَعَثَ بَعْثًا قَالَ: تَأَلَّفُوا النَّاسَ، وَتَأَنَّوْا بِهِمْ، وَلَا تُغِيرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى تَدْعُوهُمْ، فَمَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ، إِلَّا وَأَنْ تَأْتُونِي بِهِمْ مُسْلِمِينَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَقْتُلُوا رِجَالَهُمْ، وَتَأْتُونِي بِنِسَائِهِمْ

✧ When the Prophet ﷺ sent out a military expedition, he would say: 'Win the hearts of the people, and be patient with them, and do not raid them until you have invited them. There is no household on earth, whether of settled folk or of Bedouins, except that your bringing them to me as Muslims is more beloved to me than that you kill their men and bring me their women.'
