2687. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever kills a Mu'âhid who has the protection of Allâh and the protection of His Messenger, will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, even though its fragrance may be detected from a distance of seventy years." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2687 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْدِيُّ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ قَتَلَ مُعَاهَدًا لَهُ ذِمَّةُ اللَّهِ وَذِمَّةُ رَسُولِهِ فَلَا يَرَحْ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا لَيُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ سَبْعِينَ عَامًا»

Commentary

a. Non-Muslim residents of an Islamic state are called Mu'âhid, meaning protected, because the state is responsible for their rights and their lives. [1] One whom there is a covenant with. b. They get their rights with the orders of Allâh and His Messenger ﷺ. c. 'Will not smell the fragrance of Paradise' means that the offender will be away from Paradise. In the Hereafter there are only two places, Paradise and Hell. This is a warning that the offenders will enter Hell.
