[Machine] Abu Al-A'la came to me with my companion and said to us, "Come, both of you, for you are younger than me in age and more aware of the conversation than me." Then he went with us to Bishr bin 'Asim and said to him, "Abu Al-A'la wants you to tell us the story." He said, "We were told by 'Uqbah bin Malik who said, Abu Al-Nadr Al-Laythi said, Bahz, who was from his tribe, sent a spy mission. It raided a group of people, and a man from the group stood out. A man from the spy mission followed him, brandishing his sword. The man from the group said, 'I am a Muslim,' but the spy did not pay attention to what he said and struck him, killing him. The news reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said something harsh about it. The killer was present, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was giving a sermon when the killer said, 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, the one who killed did not say the words except as a means to protect himself from being killed.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him and looked at the people in front of him, then went back to his sermon. Then the killer said again, 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, the one who killed did not say the words except as a means to protect himself from being killed.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him and looked at the people in front of him, then went back to his sermon. But he couldn't wait and said for the third time, 'O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, the one who killed did not say the words except as a means to protect himself from being killed.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ approached him, his anger showing on his face, and said to him, 'Verily, Allah has forbidden anyone who kills a believer three times.'"
