He spoke of times of hostilities and told them that in the event a Muslim was taken
captive they should ransom him with kindness and should judge people with justice.
The Prophet addressed the situation of a believer who might transgress, as well as
others who either sought injustice, sin or corruption. He told his Companions that on no
account were they to side with them, and that if a child went astray they must stand
united against that child so he might be guided.
He instructed the Muslims that if an unbeliever demanded the death penalty of a Muslim
as a ransom, the death penalty must not be permitted to be imposed.
He reminded them of the rights of Allah and told them that they must be upheld, and that
immunity given by a believer to a person should be honored, even if the person giving
such immunity was a believer whose standing among them was the least.
With regard to the Jews, he told his Companions that those who follow them were not to
be harmed, nor should believers take sides against them.
