It is narrated from Sayyiduna Aws (may Allah be pleased with him): A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and consulted him, or spoke to him privately, while I was listening. the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to them and tell them to kill him." The narrator says: Then he called him back, so he returned to him after he had left, and he asked him: "Perhaps he says 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah)?" He said: "Yes, by Allah." He said: "Tell them to release him, for it has been revealed to me that I should fight the people, and when they say 'La ilaha illallah' (there is no god worthy of worship except Allah), their blood becomes inviolable to me except by a right, and their reckoning rests with Allah Almighty."
