56. hadíth Majlisī: مجهول

4- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ جَرَّاحٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي طَعَامِ الأسِيرِ فَقَالَ إِطْعَامُهُ حَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ أَسَرَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ قَتْلَهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُطْعَمَ وَيُسْقَى وَيُظَلَّ وَيُرْفَقَ بِهِ كَافِراً كَانَ أَوْ غَيْرَهُ.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from al-Qasim ibn Sulayman from Jarrah al-Mada’iniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), spoke about feeding the prisoners of war and said, ‘Feeding of prisoners of war is on the one who has taken him as a prisoner even if he wants to eliminate him the next day. He must feed him quench his thirst, provide him shadow and be kind to him, regardless, the prisoner is an unbeliever or other.’”
