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 ‘Amr bin al-Hamq (may Allah be pleased with him) 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 kills him afterwards, a banner of treachery will be raised for him on the Day of Resurrection.

Rifa’ah bin Shaddad says that once I went to Mukhtar, he placed a cushion for me and said, “If my brother Jibra’il (peace be upon him) had not gotten up from this, I would have placed this cushion for you.” I was standing by Mukhtar’s bedside at that time. When it became clear to me that he was a liar, by Allah, I intended to draw my sword and cut off his neck. But then I remembered a hadith which ‘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 gives a Muslim security for his life and then kills him afterwards, I am free from the killer.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: When Allah intends good for a servant, He uses him. Someone asked, "What is meant by using him?" He replied: The door of righteous deeds is opened for him before his death, until the people around him become pleased with him.
