حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ فَدَى رَجُلَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَمُّ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ هُوَ أَبُو الْمُهَلَّبِ وَاسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَيُقَالُ:‏‏‏‏ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَبُو قِلَابَةَ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْجَرْمِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ لِلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَمُنَّ عَلَى مَنْ شَاءَ مِنَ الْأُسَارَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَقْتُلَ مَنْ شَاءَ مِنْهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَفْدِي مَنْ شَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاخْتَارَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ الْقَتْلَ عَلَى الْفِدَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وقَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ مَنْسُوخَةٌ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى:‏‏‏‏ فَإِمَّا مَنًّا بَعْدُ وَإِمَّا فِدَاءً سورة محمد آية 4، ‏‏‏‏‏‏نَسَخَتْهَا وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ سورة البقرة آية 191، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ هَنَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ إِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قُلْتُ لِأَحْمَدَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا أُسِرَ الْأَسِيرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يُقْتَلُ أَوْ يُفَادَى أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ قَدَرُوا أَنْ يُفَادُوا فَلَيْسَ بِهِ بَأْسٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنْ قُتِلَ فَمَا أَعْلَمُ بِهِ بَأْسًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ إِسْحَاق:‏‏‏‏ الْإِثْخَانُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعْرُوفًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَطْمَعُ بِهِ الْكَثِيرَ.

Narrated 'Imran bin Husain: That the Prophet (ﷺ) ransomed two men for the Muslims with a man from the idolaters. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. The paternal uncle of Abu Al-Muhallab's name is 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Amr, and they also say it was Muhawiyah bin 'Amr. And Abu Qilabah's name is 'Abdullah bin Zaid Al-Jarmi (narrator in the chain) This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet(ﷺ) and others. It is for the Imam to decide to be generous with whom he wills among the captives, or to kill whom he wills among them, or to ransom whom he wills among them. Some of the people of knowledge preferred killing over ransoming. Al-Awzai' said: It has been conveyed to me. that this Ayah is abrogated: Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (to free them without ranson) or ransom (47:4). It was abrogated by: Kill them wherever you find them (2:191). This was narrated to us by Hannad (who said): Ibn Al-Mubarak narrated to us, from Al-Awza'i. Ishaq bin Mansur said: I said to Ahmad: 'When the captives are captured' is killing or ransoming better to you?' He said: 'If they are able to ransom' then there is no harm in it. And if they kill, then I do not know of any harm in it.' Ishaq said: Wiping them out is better to me, unless it is someone well-known, so that it is hoped that a large amount will be obtained for him.
