English translation

3990. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh that the Prophet ﷺ said: "No person is killed wrongfully, but a share of responsibility for his blood will be upon the first son of Ādam, because he was the first one to set the precedence, of killing." (Sahih)

Arabic text

3985 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تُقْتَلُ نَفْسٌ ظُلْمًا إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ الْأَوَّلِ كِفْلٌ مِنْ دَمِهَا، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ سَنَّ الْقَتْلَ»

Commentary

The first son of Ādam murdered the second and it was the first murder in the world. Before, that this sinful evil was not committed. In other words, murder was first introduced by him. Now every murderer is his follower, therefore, he has a share in every murder.
