Hadith 2619

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ جَنَاحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ الْجُوزَجَانِيِّ ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَزَوَالُ الدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ قَتْلِ مُؤْمِنٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ " .
´It was narrated from Bara' bin Azib that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “If this world were to be destroyed, that would be less significant before Allah (SWT) than the unlawful killing of a believer.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
(1)
The status of a believer is very high in the sight of Allah.

(2)
Generally, the cause of murder is some worldly benefit; to kill for such a small benefit is a grave mistake because, in the sight of Allah, the life of a believer is more precious than all the treasures of the world.
