حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَكِّيُّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، بِمِصْرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْعَتَكِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ ، عَنْ بَيَانِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ أَبِي بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَمِقِ الْخُزَاعِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "مَنْ آمَنَ رَجُلا عَلَى دَمِهِ ، فَقَتَلَهُ فَأَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِنَ الْقَاتِلِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَقْتُولُ كَافِرًا "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ بَيَانٍ ، إِلا هُدْبَةُ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Hamq Al-Khuzai (may Allah be pleased with him) 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 even if the slain was a disbeliever, I am free and dissociated from his killer."

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.
