أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْكُوفِيُّ الصُّوفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ أَتَيْنَا بِشْرَ بْنَ عَاصِمٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ وَكَانَ مِنْ رَهْطِهِ قَالَ
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَرِيَّةً فَغَارَتْ عَلَى قَوْمٍ فَشَذَّ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ فَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ السَّرِيَّةِ مَعَهُ السَّيْفُ شَاهِرُهُ فَقَالَ الشَّاذُّ «مَنِ الْقَوْمُ؟ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَلَمْ يَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَا» قَالَ «فَضَرَبَهُ فَقَتَلَهُ فَنَمَى الْحَدِيثُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» فَقَالَ فِيهِ قَوْلًا شَدِيدًا فَبَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ قَالَ «الْقَاتِلُ وَاللهِ مَا كَانَ الَّذِي» قَالَ «إِلَّا تَعَوُّذًا مِنَ الْقَتْلِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَمَّنْ قَبْلَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَأَخَذَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَاللهِ مَا قَالَ الَّذِي قَالَ «إِلَّا تَعَوُّذًا مِنَ الْقَتْلِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ وَعَمَّنْ قَبْلَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَأَخَذَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ وَلَمْ يَصْبِرْ» فَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تُعْرَفُ الْمَسَاءَةَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ أَبَى عَلَيَّ الَّذِي قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent out a raiding party, and they attacked a people. A man from the people broke away, and a man from the raiding party with his sword drawn followed him. The one who broke away said, "Who are the people? Indeed, I am a Muslim." But he did not pay attention to what he said, and he struck him and killed him. The news reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he spoke harshly about it. While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was delivering a sermon, the killer said, "By Allah, what he said was only to seek protection from being killed." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him and from those before him among the people, and continued his sermon. Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, what he said was only to seek protection from being killed." He turned away from him and from those before him among the people, and continued his sermon, and he did not stop. Then he said the same thing a third time, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to him with displeasure visible in his face and said, "Allah has refused to accept my intercession for the one who killed a believer," three times.
