Musnad Ahmed: Hadith 2711

25. 'Musnad of ''Abdullah bin al-''Abbas bin ''Abdul-Muttalib from the Prophet'

مسند احمد

2711
Musnad Ahmed
Saheeh because of corroborating evidence, this is a da'eef isnad because of the weakness of Ibn Abu Habeebah]
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent out his army, he would say:
"Go out in the Name of Allah, fighting for the sake of Allah those who disbelieve in Allah. Do not be treacherous, do not steal from the war booty, do not mutilate (the enemy slain), and do not kill children or those who dwell in hermitages (i.e., monks)."
