حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، (وَاللَّفْظُ مُتَقَارِبٌ) أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ

أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَقِيتُ رَجُلاً مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ فَقَاتَلَنِي فَضَرَبَ إِحْدَى يَدَىَّ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَطَعَهَا. ثُمَّ لَاذَ مِنِّي بِشَجَرَةٍ فَقَالَ أَسْلَمْتُ لِلَّهِ. أَفَأَقْتُلُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَالَهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَقْتُلْهُ».

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ قَدْ قَطَعَ يَدِي ثُمَّ قَالَ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَطَعَهَا أَفَأَقْتُلُهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ بِمَنْزِلَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ وَإِنَّكَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ كَلِمَتَهُ الَّتِي قَالَ»

He said. Messenger of Allah, you just see (here is a point): If I encountered a person amongst the infidels (in the battlefield) and he attacked me and struck me and cut off one of my hands with the sword. Then he (in order to protect himself from me) took shelter of a tree and said: I become Muslim for Allah’s sake. Messenger of Allah, can I kill him after he had uttered this?

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Do not kill him. I (the narrator) said: Messenger of Allah, he cut off my hand and uttered this after amputating it; should I then kill him?

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Don’t kill him, for I you kill him, verily he would be in a position where you had been before killing him and verily you would be in a position where he had been before uttering (kalima).

মুহাম্মাদ বিন হাতিম (রহঃ) ..... ইয়াহইয়া বিন ইয়ামার এবং হুমায়দ ইবনু আবদুর রহমান থেকে বর্ণিত। তারা উভয়ে বলেন, একদা আমরা আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু উমার (রাযিঃ) এর সাথে সাক্ষাৎ করি এবং তার কাছে তাকদীর বিষয়ে ঐ সকল লোকেরা (মাবাদ ও তার অনুসারীরা) যা মন্তব্য করে তা উল্লেখ করি। তঃপর এ হাদীসটি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম থেকে উমর (রাযিঃ) এর উদ্ধৃতি দিয়ে বর্ণনাকারীরা যেরূপ বর্ণনা করেছেন 'আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু বুরাইদাহ ঠিক অনুরূপই বর্ণনা করেছেন। অবশ্য এতে শব্দের কম বেশি আছে।

(عبد اللہ بن بریدہ کے ایک تیسرے شاگرد ) عثمان بن غیاث نے یحییٰ بن یعمر اور حمید بن عبد الرحمٰن دونوں سے روایت کی ، دونوں نےکہا : ہم عبد اللہ بن عمر ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے ملے اور ہم سے تقدیر کی بات کی اور وہ لوگ ( منکرین تقدیر ) جو کچھ کہتے ہیں ، اس کا ذکر کیا ۔

اس کے بعد ( عثمان بن غیاث نے ) سابقہ راویوں کے مطابق حضرت عمر ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے مرفوعاً روایت کی ۔ اس روایت میں کچھ الفاظ زیادہ ہیں اور کچھ انہوں نے کم کیے ہیں ۔

Bana Muhammed b. Hatim de tahdis etti. Bize Yahya b. Said el-Kattan tahdis etti. Bize Osman b. Ğiyas tahdis etti. Bize Abdullah b. Bureyde, Yahya b. Ya'mer'den ve Humeyd b. Abdurrahman'dan şöyle dediklerini tahdis etti. Abdullah b. Ömer ile karşılaştık. Kaderi ve (yeni görüş ortaya atanların) kader hakkında söylediklerini zikrettik.

O da hadisi onların naklettikleri gibi Ömer (radiyallahu anh)'dan, o Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem)'den bize rivayet etti, ama onda biraz fazlalık ve bir parça eksik lafızlar bulunabilir. Diğer tahric: Hadisin Humeyd b. Abdurrahman yoluyla gelen rivayetini Ebu Davud, 4696; Tuhfetu'l-Eşraf, 10516'da rivayet etmiştir. Yahya b. Ya'mer tarafından gelen rivayetinin kaynakları da 93 numaralı hadiste gösterildi

What it means

Al-Miqdād ibn al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about the situation if he meets a man from the disbelievers during a battle and they fight with swords and the disbeliever strikes one of his hands with the sword and cuts it off, then he runs away from him and seeks protection in a tree and says: La ilāha illallāh (there is no god but Allah),

is it lawful for me to kill him after cutting off my hand? The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Do not kill him. He said: O Messenger of Allah, but he cut off one of my hands; how could I not kill him despite this?! He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not kill him because his life has become inviolable.

If you kill him after declaring his Islam, his Islam has made his life inviolable just like you, and you will have the same status as his, as it will be permissible to kill you by way of legal retribution for killing him.

What it teaches

  • It is unlawful to kill whoever does or says what indicates embracing Islam.
  • If any of the disbelievers embraces Islam during a battle, his life becomes inviolable, and refraining from harming him becomes obligatory unless he proves otherwise.
  • A Muslim's personal desire must comply with the Shariah, not with fanaticism and revenge.
  • Ibn Hajar said: It is permissible to ask about afflictions that have not yet occurred, based on the opinion stating that this story most likely has not taken place. Considering what was reported from some of the righteous predecessors about this being disliked, it is taken to refer to what rarely occurs. However, it is permissible to ask about what could usually occur to make it known.
