4273. It was narrated from Al-Hakam, that Sa'eed bin Jubair said: "I asked Ibn 'Abbās, and he said: 'When the Verse in Al-Furqān - And those who invoke not any other Ilāh (god) along with Allāh, nor kill such person as Allāh has forbidden, except for just cause[1] - was revealed, the idolaters of Makkah said: "We have killed such people as Allāh has forbidden, and we have invoked other gods along with Allāh, and we have committed illegal sexual intercourse," so Allāh revealed the Words: "Except those who repent and believe, and do righteous deeds; for those, Allāh will change their sins into good deeds".[2] This is meant for them. As for the verse in An-Nisā' - And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell[3] - (this refers to) a man who knows the laws of Islam, then he kills a believer deliberately; his recompense is Hell, and there is no repentance for him.' I mentioned this to Mujāhid, and he said: 'Unless he regrets it.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) [1] Al-Furqān 25:68. [2] Al-Furqān 25:70. [3] An-Nisā' 4:93.

4273 - حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، أَوْ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقَالَ: " لَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الَّتِي فِي الْفُرْقَانِ: {وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ، وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ} [الفرقان: 68] قَالَ مُشْرِكُو أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ: قَدْ قَتَلْنَا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ، وَدَعَوْنَا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ، وَأَتَيْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُولَئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ} [الفرقان: 70]، فَهَذِهِ لِأُولَئِكَ "، قَالَ: " وَأَمَّا الَّتِي فِي النِّسَاءِ: {وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ} [النساء: 93] الْآيَةَ "، قَالَ: «الرَّجُلُ إِذَا عَرَفَ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ، ثُمَّ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا، فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ لَا تَوْبَةَ لَهُ»، فَذَكَرْتُ هَذَا لِمُجَاهِدٍ، فَقَالَ: «إِلَّا مَنْ نَدِمَ».
