Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 20, Hadith 124

Narrated A man of Juhaynah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Probably you will fight with a people, you will dominate them, and they will save themselves and their children by their property. The version of Sa’id has You will then conclude peace with them. The agreed version goes: Then do no take anything from them more than that, for it is not proper for you.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُقَاتِلُونَ قَوْمًا فَتَظْهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَتَّقُونَكُمْ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ دُونَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَبْنَائِهِمْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ‏”‏ فَيُصَالِحُونَكُمْ عَلَى صُلْحٍ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا ‏”‏ فَلاَ تُصِيبُوا مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَصْلُحُ لَكُمْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan Abi Dawud: Book 20, Hadith 124

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Abi Dawud collection of hadiths. Compiled by Imam Abu Dawud al-Sijistani, Sunan Abi Dawud is revered for its extensive and practical coverage of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). Its structure is deliberately thematic, with the over 4,800 hadiths sorted into dedicated books addressing specific areas of daily life and worship. This includes detailed chapters on ritual purity (tahara), prayer (salah), alms-giving (zakat), pilgrimage (hajj), marriage (nikah), and commercial law. This logical organization has made it an indispensable primary source for scholars, jurists, and students seeking the Prophetic precedents that form the basis of Islamic law and ethical conduct.
