عَنْ أَبِي رِفَاعَةَ الْبَجَلِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ قَصْرَهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَا قَامَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِي قَبْلُ قَالَ فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ فَذَكَرْتُ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَنَاهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ صُرَدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَمَّنَكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَمِهِ فَلَا تَقْتُلْهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ قَدْ أَمَّنَنِي عَلَى دَمِهِ فَكَرِهْتُ دَمَهُ
Abu Rifa’ah Bijli says: I went to Mukhtar bin Abi Ubaid in his palace, and I heard him saying: Before this, Jibreel had never stood up except from my presence. Upon hearing this, I intended to strike off his neck, but then I remembered a hadith. Sayyiduna Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a man entrusts you with his life, then you must not kill him. Mukhtar had also entrusted me with his life, so I considered it disliked to kill him.
