وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْبَكْرَاوِيُّ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ الْكَلْبِيُّ، فَذَكَرَهُ نَحْوَهُ، وَلَفْظُهُ:
شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَالَحَ نَصَارَى بَنِي تَغْلِبَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا يُنَصِّرُوا أَوْلَادَهُمْ، فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُمُ الذِّمَّةُ. قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: فَقَدْ وَاللهِ فَعَلُوا، فَوَاللهِ لَأَنْ يَتِمَّ لِيَ الْأَمْرُ لَأَقْتُلَنَّ مُقَاتِلَهُمْ وَلَأَسْبِيَنَّ ذَرَارِيَّهُمْ

✧ I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ make a treaty with the Christians of Banu Taghlib on the condition that they not make their children Christians, and if they did, then the protection would be withdrawn from them. 'Ali ؓ said: 'By Allah, they have done it. By Allah, if the matter is completed for me, I will kill their fighters and take their offspring captive.'
