Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38723 — the first to do a thing, and who did
٣٨٧٢٣ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن عبد اللَّه بن مرة عن مسروق عن عبد اللَّه قال: قال النبي ﷺ: "لا تقتل نفس ظلمًا إلا كان على ابن آدم الأول كفل من دمها؛ لأنه كان أول من سن القتل" (١).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever a soul is killed unjustly, a share of its sin will be upon the neck of the first son of Adam, because he was the first to lay the foundation of this crime."
