"We were with the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and a man came and whispered to him. He said: 'Kill him.' Then he said: 'Does he bear witness to La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah)?' He said: 'Yes, but he is only saying it to protect himself.' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Do not kill him, for I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah, and if they say it, their blood and their wealth are safe from me, except for a right that is due, and their reckoning will be with Allah.'"  

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَسَارَّهُ فَقَالَ اقْتُلُوهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَكِنَّمَا يَقُولُهَا تَعَوُّذًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَقْتُلُوهُ فَإِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ  

[Machine] I heard Aws say, "I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a delegation from Thaqif. We were in a dome, and someone other than me and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up. A man came and walked towards him, and said, 'Go and kill him.' Then he asked, 'Does he not testify that there is no god but Allah?' He said, 'Yes, but he says it for seeking refuge.' So the man said, 'Return him.' Then he said, 'I have been commanded to fight against people until they testify that there is no god but Allah. Once they say it, their lives and wealth become forbidden to me except for its right.'"  

سَمِعْتُ أَوْسًا يَقُولُ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَفْدِ ثَقِيفٍ فَكُنَّا فِي قُبَّةٍ فَقَامَ مَنْ كَانَ فِيهَا غَيْرِي وَغَيْرَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَسَارَّهُ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاقْتُلْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ؟ قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنَّهُ يَقُولُهَا تَعَوُّذًا فَقَالَ رُدَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيَّ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا  

“We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ and he was narrating to us and reminding us, when a man came and spoke privately to him. He said: ‘Take him away and kill him.’ When the man turned away, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him back and said: ‘Do you bear witness that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Then go and let him go, for I have been commanded to fight the people until they say: La ilaha illallah, then if they do that, their blood and wealth are forbidden to me.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3929)   

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ إِنَّا لَقُعُودٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الصُّفَّةِ وَهُوَ يَقُصُّ عَلَيْنَا وَيُذَكِّرُنَا إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَارَّهُ فَقَالَ اذْهَبُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُ قَالَ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى الرَّجُلُ دَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَيَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ اذْهَبُوا فَخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهُ فَإِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيَّ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as part of a delegation from Thaqif. I was in the lower part of the dome where there was no one except the Prophet ﷺ sleeping. Then a man came to him and woke him up, saying, "Go and kill him." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Is he not a witness that there is no god but Allah?" Shu'bah said, "And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." The man said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have been ordered to fight people until they testify that there is no god but Allah. Once they say it, their lives and wealth become inviolable unless it is in accordance with Islamic law." He said, "And he is the one who killed Abu Mas'ud." He said, "And he did not die until he had killed the best man in Ta'if."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي وَفْدِ ثَقِيفٍ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ فِي أَسْفَلِ الْقُبَّةِ لَيْسَ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَائِمٌ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَارَّهُ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاقْتُلْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ؟» قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا حَرُمَتْ عَلَيَّ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا قَالَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي قَتَلَ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ وَمَا مَاتَ حَتَّى قَتَلَ خَيْرَ إِنْسَانٍ بِالطَّائِفِ  

[Machine] I heard Aws ibn Aws Al-Thaqafi say, "I came to the Prophet ﷺ as part of a delegation from Thaqif. I was at the bottom of the Kaaba, where no one was present except the Prophet ﷺ who was sleeping, when a man approached him and awaken him. Then he said, 'Go and kill him.' Then he asked, 'Doesn't he bear witness that there is no deity except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah?' The man replied, 'Yes.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'I have been commanded to fight against people until they testify that there is no deity except Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. If they do so, their blood and wealth shall be protected from me unless they break the law.'"  

سَمِعْتُ أَوْسَ بْنَ أَوْسٍ الثَّقَفِيَّ يَقُولُ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي وَفْدِ ثَقِيفٍ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ فِي أَسْفَلِ الْقِبْلَةِ لَيْسَ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَائِمٌ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَارَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اذْهَبْ فَاقْتُلْهُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَيَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ؟» قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَإِذَا قَالُوا حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيَّ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ while his hair was disheveled and I was listening. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Go to them and say to them, 'Kill him.' Then, he called him back after he had left and said, 'Perhaps he will say, 'There is no god but Allah.' " The man said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Tell them to release him, for I have been commanded to fight against people until they say, 'There is no god but Allah.' When they say it, their blood and wealth become inviolable to me, except for its right, and their account is with Allah."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُسَارُّهُ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقُلْ لَهُمُ اقْتُلُوهُ ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدَمَا ذَهَبَ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّهُ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَقُلْ لَهُمْ يُرْسِلُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيَّ أَمْوَالُهُمْ ودِمَاؤُهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحَقُّهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ إِنَّا لَقُعُودٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُصُّ عَلَيْنَا وَيُذَكِّرُنَا إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَارَّهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اذْهَبُوا فَاقْتُلُوهُ» فَلَمَّا وَلَّى الرَّجُلُ دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ «يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهُ فَإِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ حُرِّمَ عَلَيَّ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ بِحَقِّهَا وَكَانَ حِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ  

"عَنْ أوْسِ بْنِ أوْسٍ الثَّقَفِىِّ قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ الله ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِى قُبَّة فِى مَسْجِدِ المدِينَةِ، فَأتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَارَهُ بِشَئ لاَ نَدْرِى مَا يَقُولُ؟ فَقَال: اذْهَبْ، فَقُلْ لَهُمْ يَقْتُلُوهُ، ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ، فَقَالَ: لَعَلَّهُ يَشْهَدُ أن لا إلهَ إلّا الله وَأنِّى رَسُولُ الله، فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ: اذهَبْ، فَقُلْ لَهُمْ يُرْسِلُوهُ، فَإنِّى أُمْرِتُ أنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يشْهَدُوا أنْ لا إِلَهَ إلاَ الله وأنِّى رَسُولُ الله، فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا حَرُمَتْ دِماؤُهُمْ وَأمْوَالُهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا، وَكَانَ حِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى الله ".  

"عَنِ النعْمَانِ بن سَالِم، عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي قُبَّةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَأَخَذَ بِعَمُودِ الْقُبَّةِ فَأَخَذَ يُحَدِّثُنَا إِذ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَارَّهُ مَا أَدْرَى مَا سَارَّه، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ : اذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَاقْتلُوُه، فَلَمَّا قَفَى الرَّجُلُ دَعَاهُ وَقَالَ: لَعَلَّهُ يَقُولُ: لا إِلَه إِلَّا الله، قَالَ أَجَلَ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اذْهَبْ فَقُلْ لَهُم يُرْسِلُونَهُ، فَإنِّي أُوحِيَ إِليَّ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لا إِلَه إِلَّا الله، فَإِذَا قَالُوا: لا إِلَه إِلَّا الله حرمت دِمَاؤُهُم، وأَمْوَالهم إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَحِسَابُهم عَلَى اللهِ".
