قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي طَعَامِ الْأَسِيرِ فَقَالَ إِطْعَامُهُ حَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ أَسَرَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ قَتْلَهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُطْعَمَ وَ يُسْقَى وَ يُظَلَّ وَ يُرْفَقَ بِهِ كَافِراً كَانَ أَوْ غَيْرَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Al Qasim Bin Suleyman, from Jarrah Al Madainy who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said regarding feeding the prisoner, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Feeding him is a right upon the one who imprisons him, and even if he wanted to kill him the next day, for it is befitting that he feeds him, and quenches him, and shades him and is kind with him, whether he was an Infidel or someone else’.
