4271. It was narrated from Ṣadaqah bin Khālid, or other than him, from Khālid bin Dihqān, who said: “I asked Yaḥyā bin Yaḥyā Al-Ghassānī about the phrase ‘kills a believer unjustly’. He said: ‘(It refers to) those who fight during times of tribulation, and one of them kills (someone) thinking that he is doing the right thing, so he does not ask Allāh for forgiveness for that.’” (Ṣaḥīh) Abū Dāwūd said: And he sheds blood unjustly and profusely.
