Narrated Jarir ibn Abdullah: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم sent an expedition to Khath'am. Some people sought protection by having recourse to prostration, and were hastily killed. When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم heard that, he ordered half the blood-wit to be paid for them, saying: I am not responsible for any Muslim who stays among polytheists. They asked: Why, Messenger of Allah? He said: Their fires should not be visible to one another. Abu Dawud said: Hushaim, Mamar, Khalid bin al-Wasiti and a group of narrators have also narrated it, but did not mention Jarir.
