أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ مَالَجَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيل مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ , لَقَتْلُ مُؤْمِنٍ أَعْظَمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ زَوَالِ الدُّنْيَا " . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ .
´It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As said:` "The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, killing a believer is more grievous before Allah than the extinction of the whole world.'"

Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, a true believer (mumin kamil) who, along with possessing knowledge of Allah’s Essence and His Attributes, also fully adheres to the Islamic rulings—such a believer’s unjust killing is, in the sight of Allah, Lord of all the worlds, just as grave as the greatness of the world is in the eyes of the people of the world.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
That is, if the world is hypothetically assumed to be without believers, then the destruction of the world and all that is in it is lighter in the sight of Allah Ta'ala than the unjust loss of the life of a single believer. Or, if, hypothetically, the entire world—which is assumed to be devoid of believers—is destroyed, then its sin is much less than the sin of the unjust killing of a single believer. The purpose is to demonstrate the importance of the believer and of faith, which has been illustrated through this hypothetical scenario. This style is common in customary usage.
