Bayhaqi 15997 — Quasi-deliberate killing

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ السُّكَّرِيَّ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ، يَقُولُ: حَضَرْتُ مَجْلِسَ الْمُزَنِيِّ يَوْمًا، وَسَأَلَهُ سَائِلٌ مِنَ الْعِرَاقِيِّينَ عَنْ شِبْهِ الْعَمْدِ، فَقَالَ السَّائِلُ: إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَصَفَ الْقَتْلَ فِي كِتَابِهِ صِفَتَيْنِ عَمْدًا وَخَطَأً، فَلِمَ قُلْتُمْ: إِنَّهُ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَصْنَافٍ؟ وَلِمَ قُلْتُمْ: شِبْهُ الْعَمْدِ؟ يَعْنِي فَاحْتَجَّ الْمُزَنِيُّ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُنَاظِرُهُ: أَتَحْتَجُّ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ؟ فَسَكَتَ الْمُزَنِيُّ، فَقُلْتُ لِمُنَاظِرِهِ: قَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْخَبَرَ غَيْرُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَ: وَمَنْ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ عَلِيٍّ؟ قُلْتُ: رَوَاهُ أَيُّوبُ السِّخْتِيَانِيُّ، وَخَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ قَالَ لِي: فَمَنْ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ؟ فَقُلْتُ: عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَوْسٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ عَنْهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ مَعَ جَلَالَتِهِ فَقَالَ لِلْمُزَنِيِّ: أَنْتَ تُنَاظِرُ أَوْ هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ: إِذَا جَاءَ الْحَدِيثُ فَهُوَ يُنَاظِرُ؛ لِأَنَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالْحَدِيثِ مِنِّي، ثُمَّ أَتَكَلَّمُ أَنَا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: أَمَّا حَدِيثُ أَيُّوبَ.
Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Khuzaymah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I attended the gathering of al-Muzani (may Allah have mercy on him), and a questioner from Iraq asked about accidental killing that resembles deliberate killing (shibh al-'amd). The questioner said: "Allah Almighty has described killing in His Book in two categories, deliberate killing and accidental killing, so why do you say that it has three categories, and why do you make a third category under the name shibh al-'amd?" That is, Imam al-Muzani (may Allah have mercy on him) had taken this very hadith as his proof. Al-Muzani's (may Allah have mercy on him) opponent in the debate said: "Do you take Ali bin Zayd bin Jud'an as proof?" Imam al-Muzani (may Allah have mercy on him) fell silent, so I said to his opponent: "Others besides Ali bin Zayd have also narrated this hadith (about shibh al-'amd)." He said: "Who are they?" I said: "Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani and Khalid al-Hadhdha'." He said to me: "Who is Uqbah bin Aws?" I said: "Uqbah bin Aws is a man from the people of Basrah, from whom Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates despite his eminence in knowledge." Then he said to Imam al-Muzani (may Allah have mercy on him): "Are you debating with me, or is he?" Imam al-Muzani (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: "When it comes to hadith, he is the debater, and since he knows hadith better than I do, he is the debater here; then I will speak."
