Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَقُومُ عَلَى رَأْسِ الْمُخْتَارِ فَلَمَّا عَرَفْتُ كَذِبَهُ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَسُلَّ سَيْفِي فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ فَذَكَرْتُ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَنَاهُ 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
Yahya b. Sa'id al-Qattan told us, from Hammad b. Salamah: 'Abd al-Malik b. 'Umayr told me, from Rifa'ah b. Shaddad, who said: I used to stand at the head of al-Mukhtar, and when I knew his lie, I resolved to draw my sword and strike off his neck, but I remembered a hadith that 'Amr b. al-Hamiq had related to us: 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."
