حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ قَالَكُنَّا مَعَ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ فِي الدَّارِ قَالَ وَلِمَ يَقْتُلُونَنِي ؟
كُنَّا مَعَ عُثْمَانَ، وَهُوَ مَحْصُورٌ فِي الدَّارِ قَالَ: وَلِمَ تَقْتُلُونَنِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: رَجُلٌ كَفَرَ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ، أَوْ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانِهِ، أَوْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا، فَيُقْتَلُ بِهَا.

✧ We were with Uthman while he was besieged in the house. He said: “Why do you kill me? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘The blood of a Muslim man is not lawful except for one of three reasons: a man who disbelieves after his Islam, or commits adultery after being married, or kills a person and is executed for it.’”

رواه حماد بن زيد واختلف عنه فرواه محمد بن عيسى الطباع أبو جعفر عن حماد عن يحيى بن سعيد عن أبي أمامة بن سهل وعبد الله بن عامر بن ربيعة عن عثمان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وغيره يرويه عن حماد عن يحيى عن أبي أمامة بن سهل وحده عن عثمان وحديث عبد الله بن عامر بن ربيعة هو حديث آخر موقوف على عثمان وهم محمد بن عيسى في الجمع بينه وبين أبي أمامة في هذا الحديث
machine translationḤammād b. Zayd narrated it, and there is disagreement about what was reported from him. Muḥammad b. ʿĪsā al-Ṭabbāʿ Abū Jaʿfar narrated it from Ḥammād, from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from Abū Umāmah b. Sahl and ʿAbdullāh b. ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah, from ʿUthmān, from the Prophet ﷺ. Others narrate it from Ḥammād, from Yaḥyā, from Abū Umāmah b. Sahl alone, from ʿUthmān. The hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. ʿĀmir b. Rabīʿah is a different hadith, a statement of ʿUthmān himself (mawqūf). Muḥammad b. ʿĪsā erred in combining it with Abū Umāmah in this hadith.
in مسند أحمد, p. 510 - Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
غلط ابن الطباع حديث عبد الله بن عامر غير مرفوع هو موقوف فإن حماد بن سلمة رواه عن يحيى بن سعيد عن أبي أمامة بن سهل عن عثمان موقوف قلت لأبي أيهما أشبه قال لا أعلم أحدا يتابع حماد بن زيد على رفعه قلت فالموقف عندك أشبه قال نعم
machine translationIbn al-Ṭabbāʿ made a mistake. The hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. ʿĀmir is not raised (marfūʿ); it is a statement of the Companion (mawqūf), for Ḥammād b. Salamah narrated it from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from Abū Umāmah b. Sahl, from ʿUthmān, as a statement of the Companion (mawqūf). I said to my father: Which of them is more likely correct? He said: I do not know anyone who followed Ḥammād b. Zayd in attributing it to the Prophet. I said: So the mawqūf is more likely correct in your view? He said: Yes.
