Chapter 13 | Kindness to the Prisoners and Providing Him Food

2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ إِطْعَامُ الأسِيرِ حَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ أَسَرَهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ يُرَادُ مِنَ الْغَدِ قَتْلُهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُطْعَمَ وَيُسْقَى وَ[يُظَلَّ] وَيُرْفَقَ بِهِ كَافِراً كَانَ أَوْ غَيْرَهُ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has said that feeding the prisoner is upon the one who has captured him even if he wants to eliminate him the next day. He should feed him, quench his thirst, [provide him shadow, shelter] and be kind to him, regardless, he is an unbeliever or not.”
