سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَرْيَتَيْنِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَرْبِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا مَلِكٌ عَلَى حِدَةٍ اقْتَتَلُوا ثُمَّ اصْطَلَحُوا ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَحَدَ الْمَلِكَيْنِ غَدَرَ بِصَاحِبِهِ فَجَاءَ إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَصَالَحَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يَغْزُوَ مَعَهُمْ تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنْ يَغْدِرُوا وَ لَا يَأْمُرُوا بِالْغَدْرِ وَ لَا يُقَاتِلُوا مَعَ الَّذِينَ غَدَرُوا وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ يُقَاتِلُونَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدُوهُمْ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهِ الْكُفَّارُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Talha Bin Zayd, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about two towns from the people of war, for each of them being a king upon a border. They fought then they reconciled. Then one of the two kings betrayed his companion, so he came over to the Muslims and reconciled with them upon that he would carry out a military expedition along with them for that city (of the other king)’. So Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘It is not befitting for the Muslims that they should be treacherous, nor should they be instructing others with the treachery, nor should they be fighting alongside those who are treacherous. But, they should be fighting against the Polytheists wherever they find them, nor is it allowed upon them what the disbelievers pact upon them’.
