Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْقَاتِلِ وَالْآمِرِ قَالَ قُسِّمَتْ النَّارُ سَبْعِينَ جُزْءًا فَلِلْآمِرِ تِسْعٌ وَسِتُّونَ وَلِلْقَاتِلِ جُزْءٌ وَحَسْبُهُ.
English Translation
Ya'la ibn Ubayd told us: Muhammad told us, from Yazid ibn Abi Habib, from Marthad ibn Abdullah, from a man among the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked about the one who kills and the one who orders the killing. He said: The Fire has been divided into seventy parts; sixty-nine parts belong to the one who gave the order, and one part, which is enough for him, belongs to the killer.
