Commentary
Killing a Muslim intentionally is an enormously hateful sin. In the Glorious Qur'an, its punishment has been mentioned to be eternal abode in Hellfire, Allāh's wrath, curse, and a terrible chastisement. No such punishment has been mentioned for any other sin. That is why it has been transmitted on the authority of Ibn 'Abbās, may Allāh be pleased with him and his father that the repentance of such a person is not accepted. He shall have to bear the above-mentioned punishments; or else he offers retribution in the life of this world. See Nos. 4867, 4873 for more details related to this.
