The answer

Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Nasa'i narrated that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sent a raiding party to Khath'am. When they hastened to kill after some people had sought refuge by prostrating, the Prophet ordered them to pay half the blood money and said: "I am innocent of any Muslim who resides among the polytheists." He was asked, "Why is that?" He replied, "Their fires should not be visible to one another." This is not in Muslim.
