5159 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْساً بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسٰادٍ فِي اَلْأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمٰا قَتَلَ اَلنّٰاسَ جَمِيعاً
قَالَ "هُوَ وَادٍ فِي جَهَنَّمَ لَوْ قَتَلَ اَلنَّاسَ جَمِيعاً كَانَ فِيهِ وَ لَوْ قَتَلَ نَفْساً وَاحِدَةً كَانَ فِيهِ".
Hadith.5159 - It is narrated from Hanan ibn Sadir from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding the saying of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic:
"Whoever kills a soul without [the soul having killed] another soul or [without causing] corruption on the earth, it is as if he had killed all mankind" (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:32).
Imam (as) said: "It is a valley in Hell; if a person were to kill all of mankind, he would be in it, and if he were to kill just one soul, he would still be in it."
5160 - وَ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّهُ يُوضَعُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ إِلَيْهِ يَنْتَهِي شِدَّةُ عَذَابِ أَهْلِهَا لَوْ قَتَلَ اَلنَّاسَ جَمِيعاً لَكَانَ إِنَّمَا يَدْخُلُ ذَلِكَ اَلْمَكَانَ" قِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ قَتَلَ آخَرَ قَالَ "يُضَاعَفُ عَلَيْهِ".
Hadith.5160 - It has been narrated:
"A person who commits murder will be placed in a specific location in Hell, where the severity of punishment for its inhabitants reaches its peak. If he had killed all the people, he would only enter that same place."
It was asked: "And if he killed another?"
Imam (as) said: "His punishment would be doubled."
5161 - وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ "قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "مَنْ قُتِلَ دُونَ مَالِهِ فَهُوَ شَهِيدٌ" " قَالَ "وَ قَالَ "لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَتَرَكْتُ اَلْمَالَ وَ لَمْ أُقَاتِلْ " ".
Hadith.5161 - Al-Alaa narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim from one of the two Imams (peace be upon them), who said:
"The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said:
'Whoever is killed defending his wealth is a martyr.'"
Imam (as) also said: "If it were me, I would have abandoned the wealth and not fought."
5162 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَسِّنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عِيسَى اَلضَّعِيفِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ قَتَلَ رَجُلاً مَا تَوْبَتُهُ فَقَالَ "يُمَكِّنُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ" قُلْتُ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ قَالَ "فَلْيُعْطِهِمُ اَلدِّيَةَ" قُلْتُ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَعْلَمُوا بِذَلِكَ قَالَ "فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ إِلَيْهِمُ اِمْرَأَةً" قُلْتُ يَخَافُ أَنْ تُطْلِعَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ "فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى اَلدِّيَةِ فَيَجْعَلُهَا صُرَراً ثُمَّ لْيَنْظُرْ مَوَاقِيتَ اَلصَّلاَةِ فَلْيُلْقِهَا فِي دَارِهِمْ".
Hadith.5162 - Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Muhassin ibn Ahmad from Isa Al-Dhaif, who said:
I asked Abu Abdullah (as): "A man has killed another man; what is his repentance?"
Imam (as) replied: "He should surrender himself."
I said: "He fears they will kill him."
Imam (as) said: "Then he should give them the blood money (diyyah)."
I said: "He fears they will find out."
Imam (as) said: "Then he should marry a woman from among them."
I said: "He fears she might reveal this to them."
Imam (as) said: "Then he should take the blood money, divide it into small bundles, observe the times of prayer, and secretly place it in their home."
5163 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَلاَّدٍ اَلْحَنَّاطِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ مُتَعَمِّداً فَهُوَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِداً فِيهَا".
Hadith.5163 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Walad Al-Hannat, who said:
"I heard Abu Abdullah (as) say, 'Whoever intentionally kills themselves will be in the Fire of Hell, abiding therein forever.'"
5165 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ اَلْأَزْرَقِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ يَقْتُلُ رَجُلاً مُؤْمِناً قَالَ "يُقَالُ لَهُ مُتْ أَيَّ مِيتَةٍ شِئْتَ إِنْ شِئْتَ يَهُودِيّاً وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ نَصْرَانِيّاً وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ مَجُوسِيّاً ".
Hadith.5165 - Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Said Al-Azraq from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding a man who kills a believing man.
Imam (as) said: "It will be said to him, 'Die in whichever manner you wish - if you wish, as a Jew; if you wish, as a Christian; and if you wish, as a Magian.'"
5164 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ وَ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ يَقْتُلُ اَلْمُؤْمِنَ مُتَعَمِّداً لَهُ تَوْبَةٌ فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ قَتَلَهُ لِإِيمَانِهِ فَلاَ تَوْبَةَ لَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَتَلَهُ لِغَضَبٍ أَوْ لِسَبَبِ شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ اَلدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ تَوْبَتَهُ أَنْ يُقَادَ مِنْهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلِمَ بِهِ أَحَدٌ اِنْطَلَقَ إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اَلْمَقْتُولِ فَأَقَرَّ عِنْدَهُمْ بِقَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِمْ فَإِنْ عَفَوْا عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يَقْتُلُوهُ أَعْطَاهُمْ اَلدِّيَةَ وَ أَعْتَقَ نَسَمَةً وَ صَامَ "شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتٰابِعَيْنِ"- وَ أَطْعَمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً تَوْبَةً إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ".
Hadith.5164 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan and Ibn Bukayr from Abu Abdullah (as), who was asked about a believer who intentionally kills another believer - does he have repentance?
Imam (as) said: "If he killed him because of his faith, then there is no repentance for him.
But if he killed him out of anger or due to some worldly reason, then his repentance is that retribution be taken from him.
If no one knows about it, he should go to the family of the murdered person and confess to them that he killed their relative. If they forgive him and do not kill him, he must give them the blood money (diyyah), free a slave, fast for two consecutive months, and feed sixty needy people as repentance to Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic."
5166 - وَ رَوَى جَابِرٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : "أَوَّلُ مَا يَحْكُمُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ، يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ اَلدِّمَاءُ فَيُوقَفُ اِبْنَا آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَيُفْصَلُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثُمَّ اَلَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ اَلدِّمَاءِ حَتَّى لاَ يَبْقَى مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَ اَلنَّاسِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اَلْمَقْتُولُ بِقَاتِلِهِ فَيَشْخُبَ دَمُهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَيَقُولُ أَنْتَ قَتَلْتَهُ فَلاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَكْتُمَ اَللَّهَ حَدِيثاً".
Hadith.5166 - Jabir narrated from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said:
"The first matter that Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, will judge on the Day of Judgment is bloodshed.
The sons of Adam (as) will be brought forward, and judgment will be passed between them.
Then those who followed them among the people of bloodshed will be judged until none of them remain.
After that, the murdered will bring forth his killer, and his blood will gush onto the killer's face.
The murdered will say: 'You killed me,' and the killer will not be able to conceal any word from Allah (swt)."
5167 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلاً مَمْلُوكاً مُتَعَمِّداً قَالَ "يُغَرَّمُ قِيمَتَهُ وَ يُضْرَبُ ضَرْباً شَدِيداً" وَ قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ مَمْلُوكَهُ قَالَ "يُعْتِقُ رَقَبَةً وَ يَصُومُ "شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتٰابِعَيْنِ" وَ يُطْعِمُ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً ثُمَّ اَلتَّوْبَةُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ".
Hadith.5167 - Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi from Abu Abdullah (as) regarding a man who intentionally kills another man's slave.
Imam (as) said: "He must pay the value of the slave and be severely beaten."
And regarding a man who kills his own slave, Imam (as) said:
"He must free a slave, fast for two consecutive months, and feed sixty needy people, and then repent after that."
5168 - وَ رَوَى عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى وَ زُرْعَةُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَمَّنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِناً مُتَعَمِّداً هَلْ لَهُ تَوْبَةٌ فَقَالَ "لاَ حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَ دِيَتَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ يُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً وَ يَصُومَ "شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتٰابِعَيْنِ" وَ يَسْتَغْفِرَ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَتُوبَ إِلَيْهِ وَ يَتَضَرَّعَ فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ يُتَابَ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا هُوَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ" قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ يُؤَدِّي دِيَتَهُ قَالَ "يَسْأَلُ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَ دِيَتَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ".
Hadith.5168 - Uthman ibn Isa and Zurah narrated from Samaah from Abu Abdullah (as), who said: I asked Imam (as) about a person who intentionally kills a believer - does he have repentance?
Imam (as) said: "No, not until he pays the blood money (diyyah) to the victim's family, frees a slave, fasts for two consecutive months, seeks forgiveness from Allah (swt) the Almighty and Majestic, repents to Him (swt), and humbly supplicates.
I hope that if he does all of this, his repentance will be accepted."
I asked: "May I be your ransom, what if he has no wealth to pay the blood money?"
Imam (as) said: "Then he should ask the Muslims for help until he is able to pay the blood money to the victim's family."
