Hadith 2540
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَوْشَنٍ الْغَطَفَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "مَنْ قَتَلَ مُعَاهَدًا فِي غَيْرِ كُنْهِهِ، حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever kills a covenant-holder (dhimmi) without due cause, Allah will make Paradise forbidden for him." (That is, the killer will not enter Paradise.)
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 2539)
A "mu'ahid" refers to that individual who, by paying jizyah, resides in the abode of Islam (dar al-Islam); such a person is also called a "dhimmi." The protection of the life and property of such a non-Muslim is the responsibility of the Muslim government. If any Muslim intentionally kills such a person, then his punishment is so severe that Paradise will be forbidden for him, and he will enter Hell.
