أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَلَامٍ ؓ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُمْ:

إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَمْ تَزَلْ مُحِيطَةً بِمَدِينَتِكُمْ هَذِهِ مُنْذُ قَدِمَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ، وَاللهِ لَئِنْ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ لَيَذْهَبُنَّ ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودُ إِلَيْكُمْ أَبَدًا، وَإِنَّ السَّيْفَ لَمْ يَزَلْ مَغْمُودًا فِيكُمْ، فَوَاللهِ لَئِنْ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ لَيَسُلَّنَّهُ اللهُ عَلَيْكُمْ، ثُمَّ لَا يُغْمَدُ عَنْكُمْ أَبَدًا - أَوْ قَالَ: إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ - وَمَا قُتِلَ نَبِيٌّ إِلَّا قُتِلَ بِهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا، وَلَا قُتِلَ خَلِيفَةٌ إِلَّا قُتِلَ بِهِ خَمْسَةٌ وَثَلَاثُونَ أَلْفًا، وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ قُتِلَ عَلَى دَمِ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا

✧ The angels have not ceased surrounding this city of yours since the Messenger of God ﷺ came to it until today. By God, if you kill him, they will depart and never return to you. And the sword has not ceased to be sheathed among you. By God, if you kill him, God will unsheathe it upon you, and it will never be sheathed from you again – or he said, 'until the Day of Resurrection.' No prophet has been killed except that seventy thousand were killed for him, and no caliph has been killed except that thirty-five thousand were killed for him. And he mentioned that seventy thousand were killed for the blood of Yahya b. Zakariyya.
