It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“The blood of every Muslims is equal, they are one hand against others. The asylum offered by the lowest of them in status applies to them (all), and the return is granted to the farthest of them.”

It was narrated from Ma'qil bin Yasar that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“The Muslims are one hand against others, and their blood is equal.”

It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“The hand of the Muslims is over others, and their blood and wealth is equal in value. The (asylum granted by) the lowest of them applies to the Muslims, and the Muslims return (the spoils of war) to the farthest of them.”

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“Whoever kills a Mu'ahid, will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, even though its fragrance may be detected from a distance of forty years.”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“Whoever kills a Mu'ahid who has the protection of Allah and the protection of his Messenger, will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, even though its fragrance may be detected from a distance of Seventy years.”

It was narrated that Rifa'ah bin Shaddad Al-Qitbani said:`“Were it not for a word that I heard from 'Amr bin Hamiq Khuza'i, I would have separated the head of Al-Mukhtar from his body. I heard him saying:“The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: 'If a man trusts someone with his life then he kills him, he will carry a banner of treachery on the day of Resurrection.'”

It was narrated that Rifa'ah said:`“I entered upon Mukhtar in his palace and he said: 'Jibril has just left me.' Nothing stopped me from striking his neck (i.e, killing him) but a Hadith that I heard from Sulaiman bin Surad, according to which the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: 'If a man trusts you with his life, then do not kill him.' That is what stopped me.”

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:`“A man killed (another) during the time of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and was referred to the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). He handed him over to the victim's next of kin, but the killer said: 'O Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), by Allah I did not mean to kill him.' The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to the next of kin, 'If he is telling the truth and you kill him, you will go to Hell.' So he let him go. He had been tied with a rope, and he went out dragging his rope, so he became known as Dhan-Nis'ah (the one with the rope).

Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man brought the killer of his guardian to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Forgive him." He refused, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take the blood money." He refused, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go, kill him, and you will be like him." 1 So, it was said to him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has said: "Go, kill him, and you will be like him." So he let him go. The killer was seen dragging his strap towards his family, as if the heir of the slain had tied him up. 1 Abu Umair, in his narration, says: Ibn Shawdhab narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Qasim this statement: After the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is not permissible for anyone to say «اقتله فإنك مثله» . Ibn Majah says: This is the narration of the people of Ramla; no one else has narrated it besides them.

It was narrated that 'Ata bin Abu Maimunah said:`“I only know it from Anas bin Malik who said: 'No case involving retaliation was referred to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) but he enjoined forgiveness.”
