Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَقُومُ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْمُخْتَارِ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنْتُ كِذَابَتَهُ هَمَمْتُ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ أَنْ أَسُلَّ سَيْفِي فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ حَتَّى ذَكَرْتُ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَنِيهِ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَمِقِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَمَّنَ رَجُلًا عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ أُعْطِيَ لِوَاءَ الْغَدْرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
English Translation
Bahz b. Asad told us, Hammad b. Salamah told us, from 'Abd al-Malik b. 'Umayr, from Rifa'ah b. Shaddad, who said: I used to stand at the head of al-Mukhtar, and when I recognized his lies, I resolved — by Allah! — to draw my sword and strike off his neck, until I remembered a hadith that 'Amr b. al-Hamiq had related to me: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Whoever grants a man safety over his life and then kills him will be given the banner of treachery on the Day of Resurrection."
