حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، نَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى زَحْمَوَيْهِ، نَا ثَابِتٌ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ، ثَنَا كَثِيرٌ النَّوَّاءُ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ الْفِتْيَانِيِّ قَالَ:
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْمُخْتَارِ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ قَالَ: يَا أَبَا عُمَرَ أَلَا تُعِينُنَا عَلَى هَذَا الْكُرْسِيِّ، فَإِنَّهُ قَامَ عَنْهُ جِبْرِيلُ آنِفًا، قُلْتُ: بَلَى، أُعِينُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تُحَرِّقَهُ وَتَنْسِفَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ نَسْفًا، قَالَ رِفَاعَةُ: فَأَهْوَيْتُ بِيَدِي إِلَى قَائِمِ سَيْفِي، فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي: أَلَا أَقْتُلُ هَذَا الْكَذَّابَ، حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ كَلِمَةَ أَخِي عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَمِقِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: مَنِ ائْتَمَنَ رَجُلًا عَلَى دَمِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَنَا مِنَ الْقَاتِلِ بَرِيءٌ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَقْتُولُ كَافِرًا ".

✧ I entered upon al-Mukhtar, and when I was about to leave, he said: "O Abu 'Umar, will you not help us with this throne, for Gabriel has just left it?" I said: "Yes, I will help you by burning it and scattering it completely into the sea." Rifa'a said: I reached for the hilt of my sword and said to myself: "Should I not kill this liar?" Then I remembered the words of my brother 'Amr b. al-Hamiq that he heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "Whoever entrusts a man with his life and then kills him, I am innocent of the killer, even if the victim is an unbeliever."

قاله وكيع عن أبي ليلى ولم يسمه وقال مسلم بن إبراهيم عن عبد الله بن ميسرة الحارثي عن أبي عكاشة عن رفاعة بن شداد عن سليمان بن صرد الأول أشبه بالصواب أبو عكاشة الهمداني عن رفاعة بن شداد عن عمرو بن الحمق فإن حديث عمرو بن الحمق محفوظ في هذا الباب
machine translationWakīʿ said it from Abū Laylā without naming him. And Muslim b. Ibrāhīm said, from ʿAbdullāh b. Maysarah al-Ḥārithī, from Abū ʿUkāshah, from Rifāʿah b. Shaddād, from Sulaymān b. Ṣurad. The first is closer to the correct view: Abū ʿUkāshah al-Hamdānī, from Rifāʿah b. Shaddād, from ʿAmr b. al-Ḥamiq, for the ḥadīth of ʿAmr b. al-Ḥamiq is preserved (maḥfūẓ) on this topic.
