قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ:
كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ذَاهِبُ الْبَصَرِ يَأْوِي إِلَى يَهُودِيَّةٍ، وَكَانَتْ حَسَنَةَ الصَّنِيعِ إِلَيْهِ، وَكَانَتْ تَسُبُّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَتْهُ. فَنَهَاهَا فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ، فَقَتَلَهَا فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمَا إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ إِلَيَّ صَنِيعًا، وَلَكِنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَسُبُّكَ إِذَا ذَكَرَتْكَ فَنَهَيْتُهَا، فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ فَقَتَلْتُهَا، فَأَطَلَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دَمَهَا

✧ A blind Muslim man used to take refuge with a Jewish woman who treated him well, but she used to insult the Prophet ﷺ whenever she mentioned him. He forbade her, but she refused. So he killed her. The matter was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, and he questioned him. The man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, she was among the best people to me in treatment, but she used to insult you whenever she mentioned you. I forbade her, but she refused, so I killed her.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared her blood to be of no consequence.
