Bayhaqi 18272 — Polytheists who accept Islam before capture

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الصَّفَّارُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ قَالَا: أنبأ بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: أَتَيْنَا نَصْرَ بْنَ عَاصِمٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ، فَقَالَ نَصْرٌ: ثنا ⦗١٩٧⦘ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، وَكَانَ مِنْ رَهْطِهِ، قَالَ: بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً فَأَغَارُوا عَلَى قَوْمٍ، فَشَذَّ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ السَّرِيَّةِ مَعَهُ السَّيْفُ شَاهِرٌ، فَقَالَ الشَّاذُّ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ، فَلَمْ يَنْظُرْ فِيهِ فَضَرَبَهُ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَنُمِيَ الْحَدِيثُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ قَوْلًا شَدِيدًا، فَقَالَ الْقَاتِلُ: وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا قَالَ الَّذِي قَالَ إِلَّا تَعَوُّذًا مِنَ الْقَتْلِ. فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ثَلَاثًا، فَأَعَادَهُ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُعْرَفُ الْمَسَاءَةُ فِي وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَبَى عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا " قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا. تَابَعَهُ يُونُسُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ.
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who was from the clan of Nasr bin Asim al-Laythi, narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out a small detachment, and they attacked a people. A man broke away from the people, and a man of the detachment pursued him with a drawn sword. The man who had broken away said: I am a Muslim. But he paid no heed to it and struck him and killed him. When the matter reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke severely about him. The killer said: O Messenger of Allah, he only said that to save himself from being killed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him three times, and he repeated the same words. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards him, and displeasure could be recognised in his (peace and blessings be upon him) face, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, Lord of Might, refuses (to accept any excuse from) the one who kills a believer." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said it three times.
