Narrated Amr bin Shuaib: On his father's authority said that his grandfather reported the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: A believer will not be killed for an infidel. If anyone kills a man deliberately, he is to be handed over to the relatives of the one who has been killed. If they wish, they may kill, but if they wish, they may accept blood-wit

Narrated Abu Shurayb al-Kabi: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Then you, Khuzaah, have killed this man of Hudhayl, but I will pay his blood-wit. After these words of mine if a man of anyone is killed, his people will have a choice to accept blood-wit or to kill him.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: When Makkah was conquered, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم got up and said: If a relative of anyone is killed, he will have a choice between two: he (the slayer) will either pay the blood-wit or he will be killed. A man of the Yemen called Abu Shah stood up and said: Write for me, Messenger of Allah. The narrator al-Abbas (b. al-Walid) said: Write to me, (you people). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Write (you people), for Abu Shah. These are the wordings of the tradition of Ahmad. Abu Dawud said: Write (you people), for me, that is, the address of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم .

Narrated Qays ibn Abbad: I and Ashtar went to Ali and said to him: Did the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم give you any instruction about anything for which he did not give any instruction to the people in general? He said: No, except what is contained in this document of mine. Musaddad said: He then took out a document. Ahmad said: A document from the sheath of his sword. It contained: The lives of all Muslims are equal; they are one hand against others; the lowliest of them can guarantee their protection. Beware, a Muslim must not be killed for an infidel, nor must one who has been given a covenant be killed while his covenant holds. If anyone introduces an innovation, he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an innovation or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is cursed by Allah, by His angels, and by all the people. Musaddad said: Ibn Abu Urubah's version has: He took out a document.
