4260. It was narrated from Raqabah bin Muṣqalah, from 'Awn bin Abī Juhaifah, from 'Abdur-Rahmān, meaning Ibn Samurah, he said: "I was holding the hand of Ibn 'Umar in one of the roads of Al-Madinah, when he came to a head[1] that was set on a post, and he said: 'The killer of this one is doomed.' When he had moved on he said: 'And I do not regard him as anything other than doomed. I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Whoever goes to a man of my Ummah to kill him, let him do like this [meaning, stretch out his neck], for the killer will be in the Fire, and the victim will be in Paradise.” (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: Ath-Thawrī reported it from ‘Awn, from ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Sumair, or Sumairah. Laith bin Abī Sulaim reported it from ‘Awn, from ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Sumairah. Abū Dāwūd said: Al-Ḥasan bin ‘Alī said to me: “Abū Al-Walīd narrated to us,” meaning, with this Hadīth, “from Abū ‘Awānah.” And he said: “It is in my book as ‘Ibn Sabrah,’ and they say: ‘Samrah,’ and they (also) say; ‘Sumairah.’” This is the statement of Abū Al-Walīd.
