Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ جَمَعَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ بِشْرِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ رَجُلٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ سَرِيَّةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَشُوا أَهْلَ مَاءٍ صُبْحًا فَبَرَزَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَاءِ فَحَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَقَتَلَهُ فَلَمَّا قَدِمُوا أَخْبَرُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطِيبًا فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَمَا بَالُ الْمُسْلِمِ يَقْتُلُ الرَّجُلَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنَّمَا قَالَهَا مُتَعَوِّذًا فَصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجْهَهُ وَمَدَّ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى فَقَالَ أَبَى اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ مَنْ قَتَلَ مُسْلِمًا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ.
English Translation
Yunus told us: Hammad — that is, Ibn Salamah — told us, from Yunus ibn Ubayd, from Humayd ibn Hilal, who said: A man brought Bishr ibn Asim and me together, and he told me, from Uqbah ibn Malik, that a raiding party of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, surprised the people of a watering place at dawn. A man from the people of the water came forward, and a man from the Muslims charged upon him; he said, "I am a Muslim," but he killed him. When they returned, they informed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, of that. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood delivering a sermon; he praised Allah and extolled Him, then said: "Now then — what is wrong with the Muslim who kills a man while he is saying, 'I am a Muslim'?" The man said: "He only said it seeking protection." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, turned his face away and stretched out his right hand and said: "Allah refuses (to accept any excuse from) me for one who kills a Muslim" — three times.
