Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29570 — The sanctity of a believer's blood
٢٩٥٧٠ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع قال: حدثنا سفيان (عن خصيف) (١) عن مجاهد عن ابن عباس ﴿فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا﴾ قال: من أوبقها، ﴿وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا﴾ [المائدة: ٣٢]، قال: من كف عن قتلها (٢).
Mujahid reported that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) commented on 'It is as if he has killed all of mankind': He said: Whoever destroyed it. 'And whoever keeps it alive, it is as if he has kept all of mankind alive' [Al-Ma'idah: 32]: He said: Whoever refrained from killing it.
