حَدَّثَنَا
أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ
يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ
أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، أَنّ
عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ أَشْرَفَ يَوْمَ الدَّارِ ، فَقَالَ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ : زِنًا بَعْدَ إِحْصَانٍ ، أَوِ ارْتِدَادٍ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامٍ ، أَوْ قَتْلِ نَفْسٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ ، فَقُتِلَ بِهِ " ، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَنَيْتُ فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلَا فِي إِسْلَامٍ ، وَلَا ارْتَدَدْتُ مُنْذُ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَلَا قَتَلْتُ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ ، فَبِمَ تَقْتُلُونَنِي ؟ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَعَائِشَةَ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ، وَرَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ فَرَفَعَهُ ، وَرَوَى يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ ، وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَأَوْقَفُوهُ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعُوهُ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرْفُوعًا .
´Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif narrated that on the day of siege, 'Uthman bin 'Affan stood overlooking the people, and he said:` "I swear to you by Allah! You know that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'The blood of a Muslim man is not lawful, except for one of three (cases):Illegitimate sexual relations after Ihsan (having been married), or apostasy after Islam, or taking a life without right, for which he is killed.' By Allah! I have never committed illegitimate sexual relations, not during Jahiliyyah nor during Islam, and I have not committed apostasy since I gave my pledge to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and I have not taken a life that Allah had made unlawful. So for what do you fight me?"'
