Wars and principles and regulations

When the Holy Prophet(sa) engaged in a battle, he used to firmly order that:

• No woman be killed;
• No children be killed;
• The old not be impeded;
• Nothing be said to the refugees, monks or hermits;
• No person be set on fire;
• No animal be killed;
• No tree be cut down;
• Unlike your enemy, no person’s nose or ear be cut off.
• Then having been victorious, he used to proclaim:
• No injured be killed;
•  Do not pursue unnecessarily anyone who escapes
