(15). 3029. 'Amr bin Dīnār narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that the Prophet ﷺ said: "On the Day of Judgement, the murdered will come with the murderer's scalp and his head in his hand, and his jugular vein flowing blood saying:
'O Lord! This one killed me!' Until he comes close to the Throne." So they mentioned repentance to Ibn 'Abbās, and he recited this Āyah: And whoever kills a believer intentionally then his recompense is Hell.[1] He said: "This Āyah was not abrogated nor (its ruling) replaced so from where is his repentance?" (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan [Gharīb] Some of them reported this Hadīth; from 'Amr bin Dīnār, from Ibn 'Abbās similarly, without mentioning it in Marfū' form.

Commentary
The most important right of a Muslim upon another Muslim is the sanctity of his life. If a Muslim takes the life of another Muslim, he violates the most important right from amongst the rights of a Muslim. Once this right has been violated, now there is no chance of making it up, because whoever's right has been violated, he has departed the world. As for human rights, the expiation for the violated right is necessary, but in this case the repentance has no chance to be granted. But if Allāh wishes, He may forgive the killer by compensating and rewarding the victim from Himself.
