Narration on the Burden of Murder Due to Oppression on Adam’s Son
Hadith 118
118 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ تُقْتَلُ ظُلْمًا إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَي ابْنِ آدَمَ الْأَوَّلِ كِفْلٌ مِنْهَا لِأَنَّهُ سَنَّ الْقَتْلَ أَوَّلًّا»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is killed unjustly, its burden will be upon the head of Adam's (peace be upon him) first son; he will be a partner in it, because he was the first to invent the way of killing."
