[4377] 26 - (...) It was narrated that 'Abdullâh said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up among us and said: 'By the One besides Whom none has the right to be worshiped! It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim man who testifies that none has the right to be worshiped but Allâh and that I am the Messenger of Allâh, except in three cases: One who leaves Islam abandoning the Jamâ'ah (the congregation of Muslims), a married (or previously married) adulterer, and a life for a life.'" Al-A'mash said: I narrated it to Ibrâhîm, and he narrated a similar report from Al-Aswad, from 'Aîshah.

26 - (1676) حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَحْمَدَ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ، لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ، يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ، إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ: التَّارِكُ الْإِسْلَامَ الْمُفَارِقُ لِلْجَمَاعَةِ - أَوِ الْجَمَاعَةَ شَكَّ فِيهِ أَحْمَدُ - وَالثَّيِّبُ الزَّانِي، وَالنَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ "، قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ، فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِمِثْلِهِ.
