English translation

2688. It was narrated that Rifâ'ah bin Shaddâd Al-Qitbâni said: "Were it not for a word that I heard from 'Amr bin Hamiq Khuzâ'i, I would have separated the head of Al-Mukhtâr from his body. I heard him saying: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'If a man trusts someone with his life then he kills him, he will carry a banner of treachery on the Day of Resurrection.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

2688 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ الْفِتْيَانِيِّ قَالَ: لَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَمِقِ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، لَمَشَيْتُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ رَأْسِ الْمُخْتَارِ وَجَسَدِهِ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَمِنَ رَجُلًا عَلَى دَمِهِ، فَقَتَلَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ لِوَاءَ غَدْرٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

Commentary

a. Killing after giving a promise of protection is a great sin. b. Mukhtâr bin 'Ubaid Thaqfi, after the martyrdom of Hussain ﷺ, stood up with a slogan of revenge. Through this slogan, he gained popularity and the sympathies of the people. He then claimed to be a prophet, and mislead the people. Mus'ab bin Zubair killed him and ended his mischief.
