Hadith 23701

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَقُومُ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْمُخْتَارِ ، فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَتْ لِي كِذَابَتُهُ ، هَمَمْتُ أَيْمُ اللَّهِ أَنْ أَسُلَّ سَيْفِي ، فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ ، حَتَّى تَذَكَّرْتُ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَنِيهِ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَمِقِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ آمَنَ رَجُلًا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ ، أُعْطِيَ لِوَاءَ الْغَدْرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Rifa’ah bin Shaddad says: One day I was standing by the bedside of Mukhtar. When it became clear to me that he was a liar, by Allah! I intended to draw my sword and strike off his neck. But then I remembered a hadith which Hazrat Amr bin Al-Hamq (may Allah be pleased with him) had narrated to me, that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever grants safety to a Muslim for his life and then kills him afterwards, a banner of treachery will be given to him on the Day of Resurrection.
