[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "After that, what is the matter with a man killing another man while he says, 'I am a Muslim?' The killer said, 'O Messenger of Allah, he said it seeking refuge (from harm).' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Thus did he utter it in a vain attempt to protect himself.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned his face away from him. He said, 'Allah has forbidden the killing of a person who testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that I am the Messenger of Allah. Although he did not comment on it, Al-Dhahabi recognized it in his summary."

الحاكم:٤٨ – حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ الْقَاضِي ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدَ فَمَا بَالُ الرَّجُلِ يَقْتُلُ الرَّجُلَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ أَنَا مُسْلِمٌ؟ فَقَالَ الْقَاتِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا قَالَهَا مُتَعَوِّذًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَكَذَا وَكَرِهَ مَقَالَتَهُ وَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ «أَبَى اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَ مُسْلِمًا أَبَى اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَ مُسْلِمًا» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص

[Machine] A group from the army of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raided the people of a water source in the morning. A man from the people of the water rose up and a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ attacked him. He said, "I am a Muslim!" and the companion killed him. When they came to the Prophet ﷺ, they informed him of what happened. He stood up to deliver a sermon, praised Allah and glorified Him, then he said, "As for what follows, what is the matter with a Muslim killing another Muslim while he says, 'I am a Muslim?'" He said, "O Messenger of Allah, he said it seeking refuge." So he turned his face away from him and said, "Indeed, Allah has prohibited me from taking the life of a Muslim." He said this three times.

الطبراني:١٥١١٠ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَأَبُو مُسْلِمٍ الْكَشِّيُّ قَالَا ثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ جَمَعَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ رَجُلٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ جَيْشًا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَشُوا أَهْلَ مَاءٍ صُبْحًا فَثَارَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَقَتَلَهُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَمَا بَالُ الْمُسْلِمِ يَقْتُلُ الْمُسْلِمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَهَا تَعَوُّذًا فَقَالَ هَكَذَا وَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ أَبَى عَلَيَّ فِيمَنْ قَتَلَ مُسْلِمًا» قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا
