4270. It was narrated that Khālid bin Dihqān said: We were on the campaign to Constantinople in Dhuluqyah, when a man from Palestine, one of their prominent and righteous men, came, and they recognized his status. He was called Hāni' bin Kulthūm bin Sharik Al-Kināni. He greeted 'Abdullāh bin Abī Zakariyyā - who acknowledged his status.' Khālid told us: 'Abdullāh bin Abī Zakariyyā told us: I heard Umm Ad-Dardā' say: I heard Abū Ad-Dardā' say: I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Allāh may forgive every sin, except for one who dies in a state of Shirk, or a believer who kills another believer deliberately." Hāni' bin Kulthūm said: "I heard Maḥmūd bin Ar-Rabi' narrating that he heard 'Ubādah bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit narrating, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever kills a believer unjustly, Allāh will not accept any obligatory (Sarf) or voluntary (Adl) deed from him.'"[1] Khālid said to us: "Then Ibn Abī Zakariyyā narrated to us, from Umm Ad-Dardā', from Abū Ad-Dardā', that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The believer will continue to move rapidly and smoothly so long as he does not shed forbidden blood. But if he sheds forbidden blood, he will be unable to move.”[1] And Hānī’ bin Kulthūm narrated a similar report from Maḥmūd bin Ar-Rabī’, from ‘Ubādah bin Aṣ-Ṣāmit, from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.
