Hadith 38:60

Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated to us, from Ja’far, from his father, who said: Ali ordered his herald, and he proclaimed on the day of Basra: "Do not pursue one who is fleeing, do not finish off a wounded person, and do not kill a captive. Whoever closes his door is safe, and whoever casts aside his weapon is safe." And he did not take anything from their possessions.

حدثنا حفص بن غياث عن جعفر عن أبيه قال أمر علي مناديه فنادى يوم البصرة لا يتبع مدبر ولا يذفف على جريح ولا يقتل أسير ومن أغلق بابا فهو آمن ومن ألقى سلاحه فهو آمن ولم يأخذ من متاعهم شيئا
