Summary
It reached Malik that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz wrote to one of his agents that the Messenger of God ﷺ, whenever he sent a raid, would tell them: fight in God's name, in God's path, against those who disbelieve in God; do not embezzle, do not betray, do not mutilate, and do not kill a child; and he ordered him to say this to his armies and detachments. 1
