Hadith 19:872

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Shababa bin Sawwar narrated to us, he said: Sulaiman bin al-Mughira narrated to us, from Humayd bin Hilal, he said: Abu al-Aliyah came to me and to a companion of mine and said: "Come, for you two are younger than me, or more retentive of the hadith than me." So we set off until we came to Bishr bin Asim al-Laythi. He said: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent a military detachment, and it raided a people. A man from the people fled, and a man from the detachment followed him, having a drawn sword with him. The one fleeing from the people said: "I am a Muslim." But he did not look into what he said, so he struck him and killed him. The hadith reached the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said a harsh statement. It reached the killer. While the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was delivering a sermon, the killer said: "By Allah, O Prophet of Allah, he did not say what he said except to seek refuge from being killed." The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, turned away from him and from those of the people who were next to him. He did that twice, and each time the Prophet turned his face away from him. He could not bear it, so he said the same thing a third time. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, turned his face, and displeasure was recognized in his face. He said: "Indeed, Allah has refused for me [to accept the excuse of] one who kills a believer," saying that three times.

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا شبابة بن سوار قال حدثنا سليمان بن المغيرة عن حميد بن هلال قال جاء أبو العالية إلي وإلى صاحب لي قال هلما فإنكما أشب مني أو أوعى للحديث مني فانطلقنا حتى أتينا بشر بن عاصم الليثي قال بعث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم سرية فأغارت على القوم فشذ رجل من القوم فاتبعه رجل من السرية معه سيف شاهر فقال الشاذ من القوم إني مسلم فلم ينظر فيما قال فضربه فقتله فنمى الحديث إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قولا شديدا فبلغ القاتل فبينما النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب إذ قال القاتل والله يا نبي الله ما قال الذي قال إلا تعوذا من القتل فأعرض النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عنه وعمن يليه من الناس وفعل ذلك مرتين كل ذلك يعرض عنه النبي بوجهه فلم يصبر أن قال الثالثة مثل ذلك وأقبل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بوجهه تعرف المساءة في وجهه فقال إن الله أبى علي فيمن قتل مؤمنا ثلاث مرات يقول ذلك
