English translation

3855. Narrated Sa'īd bin Jubair: 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Abzā said, "Ask Ibn 'Abbās about these two Qur'ānic Verses: '...Nor kill such life as Allāh has forbidden, except for just cause...' (V.25:68) 'And whoever kills a believer intentionally...' (V.4:93) So, I asked Ibn 'Abbās who said, "When the Verse that is in Sūrat Al-Furqān(1) was revealed, Mushrikūn(2) of Makkah said, 'But we have slain such life as Allāh has made sacred, and we have invoked other gods along with Allāh, and we have also committed illegal sexual intercourse'. So Allāh revealed: 'Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism)... ' (V.25:70) So this Verse was concerned with those people. As for the Verse in Sūrat An-Nisā' (V.4:93), it means that if a man, after understanding Islām and its laws and obligations, murders somebody, then his punishment is to dwell in the (Hell) Fire forever." Then I mentioned this to Mujāhid who said, "Except the one who regrets (i.e., repents one's crime)."

3855 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، أَوْ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الحَكَمُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ: أَمَرَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبْزَى، قَالَ: سَلْ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ هَاتَيْنِ الآيَتَيْنِ مَا أَمْرُهُمَا {وَلاَ تَقْتُلُوا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالحَقِّ} [الأنعام: 151]، {وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا} [النساء: 93] فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ: " لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتِ الَّتِي فِي الفُرْقَانِ، قَالَ: مُشْرِكُو أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ: فَقَدْ قَتَلْنَا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ، وَدَعَوْنَا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ، وَقَدْ أَتَيْنَا الفَوَاحِشَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: {إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ} [مريم: 60]. الآيَةَ، فَهَذِهِ لِأُولَئِكَ، وَأَمَّا الَّتِي فِي النِّسَاءِ: الرَّجُلُ إِذَا عَرَفَ الإِسْلاَمَ وَشَرَائِعَهُ، ثُمَّ قَتَلَ فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ "، فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِمُجَاهِدٍ فَقَالَ: «إِلَّا مَنْ نَدِمَ»
