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)
