killing

Daily Hadith in English and Arabic

Abu Barzah reported: I was with Abu Bakr when he was very angry and he spoke harshly about a man. I said, “O successor to the Messenger of Allah, allow me to strike his neck.” My words made his anger leave and he arose and went inside; then, he sent for me and he said, “What did you say just now?” I said, “Allow me to strike his neck.” He said, “Would you do that if I ordered you?” I said, “Yes.” Abu Bakr said, “No, for by Allah, that is not for any man after Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.”

Ahmad ibn Hanbal said, “This means that Abu Bakr never killed a man except in one of three cases, as said by the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him: unbelief after faith, adultery after marriage, and retaliation for murder.”

[Sunan Abu Dawud, Book of Legal Punishment, Number 4363, Sahih]

عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَتَغَيَّظَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ تَأْذَنُ لِي يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ فَأَذْهَبَتْ كَلِمَتِي غَضَبَهُ فَقَامَ فَدَخَلَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ مَا الَّذِي قُلْتَ آنِفًا قُلْتُ ائْذَنْ لِي أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ أَكُنْتَ فَاعِلًا لَوْ أَمَرْتُكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا كَانَتْ لِبَشَرٍ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ أَيْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَجُلًا إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى الثَّلَاثِ الَّتِي قَالَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّه صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُفْرٌ بَعْدَ إِيمَانٍ أَوْ زِنًا بَعْدَ إِحْصَانٍ أَوْ قَتْلُ نَفْسٍ بِغَيْرَ نَفْسٍ
