Hadith 23702

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى الْقَارِئُ أَبُو عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنِي السَّدِيُّ ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْمُخْتَارِ ، قَالَ : فَأَلْقَى لِي وِسَادَةً ، وَقَالَ : لَوْلَا أَنَّ أَخِي جِبْرِيلَ قَامَ عَنْ هَذِهِ لَأَلْقَيْتُهَا لَكَ ، قَالَ : فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ ، فَذَكَرْتُ حَدِيثًا ، حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ أَخِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَمِقِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَيُّمَا مُؤْمَنٍ أَمَّنَ مُؤْمِنًا عَلَى دَمِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ ، فَأَنَا مِنَ الْقَاتِلِ بَرِيءٌ " .
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 that Hazrat Amr bin Al-Hamq (may Allah be pleased with him) had narrated to me, that I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever grants safety to a Muslim for his life and then later kills him, I am free from the killer.
