حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَرَجِ أَبُو يَعْلَى الرُّخَّجِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَطَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مِهْرَانُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَمِقِ ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "مَنْ آمَنَ رَجُلا عَلَى دَمِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِنَ الْقَاتِلِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَقْتُولُ كَافِرًا "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ، إِلا مِهْرَانُ الرَّازِيُّ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ يُوسُفُ
Sayyiduna Amr bin al-Hamq (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever considers someone trustworthy regarding his blood, but then that person kills him, then I am free from that killer, even if the slain was a disbeliever."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Granting someone protection and then killing them is a very grave sin.
➋ Breaking a covenant is such a major crime that, on the Day of Resurrection, a flag will be planted on the body of such a criminal, by which everyone will know that this person is a covenant-breaker. In this way, he will suffer severe disgrace.
➌ Mukhtar bin Ubayd al-Thaqafi, after the martyrdom of Husayn (radi Allahu anhu), raised the slogan of avenging him and thus gained the sympathies of the masses. After taking revenge on the killers of Husayn (radi Allahu anhu), he felt that he had gained the love and sympathy of the people, so he claimed prophethood and misled the people. Mus'ab bin Zubayr (radi Allahu anhu) killed him and thus ended this tribulation.
