2673. 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “No soul is wrongfully taken except that some of the burden of its blood is upon the son of Ādam, because he was the first to institute murder.” ‘Abdur-Razzāq said: “The first to commit murder.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. (Another route) with this chain and it is similar in meaning, he said: “To commit murder.”

٢٦٧٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌وَكِيعٌ ‌وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ ‌سُفْيَانَ ، عَنِ ‌الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ ، عَنْ ‌مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ تُقْتَلُ ظُلْمًا إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ كِفْلٌ مِنْ دَمِهَا،» وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَسَنَّ الْقَتْلَ. وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ: سَنَّ الْقَتْلَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

The two sons of Adam, Hābil and Qābil, offered sacrifice in the Name of Allāh, Hābil’s sacrifice was accepted due to his sincerity and good intention, whereas Qābil burnt in the fire of jealousy and he killed Hābil; thus he introduced a wrong act for the people to come, consequently he also shares the burden of crime and sin of any murder.
