Hadith 4747
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " لَا يَحِلُّ قَتْلُ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا فِي إِحْدَى ثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ : زَانٍ مُحْصَنٌ فَيُرْجَمُ ، وَرَجُلٌ يَقْتُلُ مُسْلِمًا مُتَعَمِّدًا ، وَرَجُلٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ فَيُحَارِبُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَرَسُولَهُ فَيُقْتَلُ أَوْ يُصَلَّبُ أَوْ يُنْفَى مِنَ الْأَرْضِ " .
´It was narrated from 'Aishah, the Mother of the Believers, that the Messenger of Allah said:` "It is not permissible to kill a Muslim except in one of three cases: A adulterer who has been married, who is to be stoned; a man who kills a Muslim deliberately; and a man who leaves Islam and wages war against Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and His Messenger, who is to be killed, crucified or banished from the land."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
The author's (rahimahullah) argument is based on the apparent wording, that it is not permissible to kill any Muslim except for these three crimes. And among them, the second crime is the killing of a Muslim, not a disbeliever (kafir). This argument is also supported by the forthcoming ahadith, in which it is explicitly stated that a Muslim will not be killed in retaliation for a disbeliever. As for "al-nafs bil-nafs" (a life for a life), this is not general, because no one holds the opinion that a Muslim may be killed in retaliation for a harbi disbeliever (a disbeliever at war with Muslims). Just as the harbi disbeliever is excluded, in the same way, based on these ahadith, the dhimmi disbeliever (a non-Muslim under Muslim protection) is also excluded. (For further details, see: Fawaid wa Masail Hadith: 4738)

If a slave commits adultery, even if he is married, he will not be subjected to stoning (rajm), because for him the prescribed punishment (hadd) is half. And that is fifty lashes; stoning cannot be halved.

(2) It is understood that, in the case of bandits, rebels, and apostates, the ruler has the authority to choose any one of the aforementioned punishments; that is, he may increase or decrease the punishment according to the nature of the crime. And Allah knows best.
