[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent an expedition. A man carried another man from among the polytheists. When he killed him with a spear, he said, "I am a Muslim." Then he went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have sinned, so seek forgiveness for me." He said, "What is that?" He said, "I carried a man from among the polytheists, and when I attacked him with a spear, he said, 'I am a Muslim.' I thought he was seeking protection, so I killed him." He said, "Could you not have pierced his heart until it became clear to you?" He said, "Would you clarify it for me, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "He spoke to you with his tongue, but you did not believe what he said in his heart." The man died, so we buried him, and in the morning he was on the earth. We commanded our boys to guard him, and in the morning he was on the earth. We said, "They were negligent, so we guarded him," but in the morning he was still on the ground. We went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him, and he said, "Indeed, it is accepted from the one who is worse than him, but Allah wanted to teach you the sanctity of blood." Then he said, "Take him to the foot of this mountain and stone him." So we did.
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَرِيَّةً فَحَمَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَلَمَّا غَشِيَهُ بِالرُّمْحِ قَالَ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَقَتَلَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَذْنَبْتُ فَاسْتَغْفَرْ لِي قَالَ «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟» قَالَ حَمَلَتُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَلَمَّا غَشَيْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ قَالَ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ مُتَعَوِّذٌ فَقَتَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ «هَلَّا شَقَقْتَ عَنْ قَلْبِهِ حَتَّى يَسْتَبِينَ لَكَ؟» قَالَ وَيَسْتَبِينُ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «قَدْ قَالَ لَكَ بِلِسَانِهِ فَلَمْ تُصَدِّقْهُ عَلَى مَا قَالَ فِي قَلْبِهِ» قَالَ فَمَاتَ الرَّجُلُ فَدَفَنَّاهُ فَأَصْبَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ فَأَمَرْنَا غِلْمَانَنَا فَحَرَسُوهُ فَأَصْبَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ فَقُلْنَا غَفَلُوا فَحَرَسْنَاهُ فَأَصْبَحَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ فَأَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهَا تُقْبَلُ مَنْ هُوَ شَرٌّ مِنْهُ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَكُمْ تَعْظِيمَ الدَّمِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «اذْهَبُوا بِهِ إِلَى سَفْحِ هَذَا الْجَبَلِ فَانْضِدُوا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ» فَفَعَلْنَا
