Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ قَالَ الْقَائِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا قَالَ الَّذِي قَالَ إِلَّا تَعَوُّذًا مِنْ الْقَتْلِ فَذَكَرَ قِصَّتَهُ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تُعْرَفُ الْمَسَاءَةُ فِي وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَبَى عَلَيَّ مَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ.
English Translation
Hashim told us, saying: Sulayman told us, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Bishr ibn Asim, who said: Uqbah ibn Malik al-Laythi told us, who said: While the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was delivering a sermon, someone said: "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, the one who said what he said, said it only as a plea for protection from being killed" — and he mentioned the story. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, turned to him, displeasure recognizable on his face, then said: "Indeed, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, refuses to accept from me (any excuse for) one who kills a believer" — he said it three times.
