Hadith 22368
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْخٌ ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ قَتَلَ صَغِيرًا أَوْ كَبِيرًا ، أَوْ أَحْرَقَ نَخْلًا ، أَوْ قَطَعَ شَجَرَةً مُثْمِرَةً ، أَوْ ذَبَحَ شَاةً لِإِهَابِهَا ، لَمْ يَرْجِعْ كَفَافًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Whoever kills a minor child or an extremely elderly man in the battlefield, or sets fire to a garden, or cuts down a fruit-bearing tree, or slaughters a goat merely to obtain its skin, then he has not returned equally (i.e., he has not returned with equal recompense).
