tabarani:17782Abū Usāmah al-Ḥalabī

[Machine] He told him about Al-Miqdad bin Amr Al-Farsi, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was a man from Kindah and an ally of the Banu Zuhrah. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, what if I meet a man from the polytheists and we clash with each other and exchange blows? I overpower him and have the ability to kill him. Should I kill him or spare him?" He said, "No, spare him." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what if he cuts off one of my hands?" He said, "Even if he does so." So, I reconsidered and he said, "If you kill him after he says, 'There is no god but Allah,' then you are in the same position as he was before he said it, and he is in the same position as you were before you killed him."

If I encountered a person amongst the infidels (in the battlefield) and he attacked me and struck me and cut off one of my hands with the sword. Then he (in order to protect himself from me) took shelter of a tree and said: I become Muslim for Allah's sake. Messenger of Allah, can I kill him after he had uttered this? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not kill him. I (the narrator) said: Messenger of Allah, he cut off my hand and uttered this after amputating it; should I then kill him? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Don't kill him, for I you kill him, verily he would be in a position where you had been before killing him and verily you would be in a position where he had been before uttering (kalima).

البيهقي:١٥٨٤٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ أنبأ جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْقَاضِي ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ ثنا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ عَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ

أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ فَقَاتَلَنِي وَضَرَبَ إِحْدَى يَدِيَّ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَطَعَهَا ثُمَّ لَاذَ مِنِّي بِشَجَرَةٍ فَقَالَ أَسْلَمْتُ لِلَّهِ أَفَأَقْتُلُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَالَهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقْتُلْهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ قَطَعَ يَدِي ثُمَّ قَالَ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَطَعَهَا أَفَأَقْتُلُهُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ؛ فَإِنَّهُ بِمَنْزِلَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ وَإِنَّكَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ كَلِمَتَهُ الَّتِي قَالَ  

رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ وُجُوهٍ أُخَرَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ

"قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ الله، أَرأَيْتَ إنِ اخْتَلَفْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمشْرِكِينَ ضَرْبَتَيْن فَقَطَع يَدِى فَلَمَّا أَهْوَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ لأضْرِبهُ، قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله أَأَقْتلهُ أَمْ أَدَعُهُ؟ قَالَ: بَلْ دَعْهُ، قُلْتُ: وَإنْ قَطَع يَدِى، قَالَ: وَإِنْ فَعَل فَرَاجَعْتهُ مَرَّتَين أَو ثَلاثًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : إِنْ قَتَلتهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله فَأَنْتَ مِثْلُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولهَا، وَهُوَ مِثْلكَ قَبْل أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ".
