The great Muhadith, Faqeeh, Ibn Shihaab az-Zuhree[1] (d. 124 AH)
said:
A beheaded head was never brought to the Messenger of Allaah [Peace and Blessings of Allaah
be upon him], not on the the
Day of Badr (arguably the most important of battles) nor otherwise.[2] A beheaded head
was once brought to Aboo Bakr [May Allaah be Pleased with him] and he rebuked
the action[3].

[1] Imaam Sufyaan bin 'Uyaynah [May Allaah have Mercy on
him] said in talking about the generation of the Saalaf in which az-Zuhree
lived, "On the day he died, there remained behind none more knowledgeable about the
Sunnah than him." [Siyaar 'Alaam an-Nubalaa' 5/336]
[3] It is narrated that
the leader of a Christian Arab enemy called Yanaaq al-Bitreeq was beheaded and
his head was brought to Aboo Bakr. The messenger carrying the head argued that
this was retribution in the similar way that the Romans and the Persians punish their enemy. To which Aboo Bakr replied, "Are you seeking to follow the
way of the Romans and the Persians? Do not bring beheaded heads to me and it is
sufficient for you (as a messenger) to bring letters and information." [Sunan
al-Kubraa of al-Bayhaqee (18351)]
