"مَا مِنْ أَحَد يَقْتُلُ عُصْفُورًا إلا عَجَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ هَذَا قَتَلَنِي عَبثًا، فَلا هُو انْتفَعَ بِقَتْلِي، وَلا هُوَ تَرَكَنِي فَأَعِيشُ فِي أَرْضِك".

"I heard Sharid say: 'I herd the Messenger of Allah say: Whoever kills a small bird for no reason, it will beseech Allah on the Day of Resurrection saying: O Lord, so and so killed me for no reason. And he did not kill me for any beneficial purpose."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4446)

ابن حبّان:٥٨٩٤ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّامِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَدَّادُ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَامِرٌ الْأَحْوَلُ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الشَّرِيدِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الشَّرِيدَ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ قَتَلَ عُصْفُورًا عَبَثًا عَجَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ فُلَانًا قَتَلَنِي عَبَثًا وَلَمْ يَقْتُلْنِي مَنْفَعَةً»

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever kills a sparrow without a just cause, it will plead to Allah on the Day of Judgment, saying, 'O Lord, this person has killed me in vain, neither benefiting from my death nor leaving me be to live on Your earth."
