کتاب الفتن · نُعیم بن حماد

Why did you kill him? It is not his. Do your work. Why did you kill him? Glory is mine

It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“Before the Hour comes, there will be tribulation like pieces of black night, when a man will wake up as a believer but be a disbeliever by evening, or he will be a believer in the evening but will be a disbeliever by morning. And the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, and the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking will be better than the one who is running. So break your bows, cut their strings and strike your swords against rocks, and if anyone enters upon anyone of you, let him be like the better of the two sons of Adam. (i.e. the one killed, not the killer).”

Baqiyya ibn al-Walid told us, on the authority of al-Ahwas, on the authority of Abu Aoun, on the authority of Sa`id ibn al-Musayyab, who said that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “Whoever helps in killing a Muslim with half a word will come on the Day of Resurrection with it written between his eyes: He is hopeless of Allah’s mercy.”

Baqiyya ibn al-Walid and Issa ibn Yunus told us, on the authority of al-Ahwas ibn Hakim, on the authority of Abu Aoun al-Ansari, on the authority of Sa`id ibn al-Musayyab, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) said: “Whoever helps in the killing of a Muslim with half a word will come on the Day of Resurrection written between his eyes: He has despaired of Allah’s mercy.” Except that Jesus added a man.
