Hadith text
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair:`AbdurRahman bin Abza said, "Ask Ibn `Abbas about these two Qur'anic Verses: 'Nor kill such life as Allah has made sacred, Except for just cause.' (25.168) "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell. (4.93) So I asked Ibn `Abbas who said, "When the Verse that is in Sura-al-Furqan was revealed, the pagans of Mecca said, 'But we have slain such life as Allah has made sacred, and we have invoked other gods along with Allah, and we have also committed fornication.' So Allah revealed:-- 'Except those who repent, believe, and do good-- (25.70) So this Verse was concerned with those people. As for the Verse in Surat-an-Nisa (4-93), it means that if a man, after understanding Islam and its laws and obligations, murders somebody, then his punishment is to dwell in the (Hell) Fire forever." Then I mentioned this to Mujahid who said, "Except the one who regrets (one's crime)
Sa'id bin Jubair bataate hain: Abdur-Rahman bin Abza ne kaha, "Ibn Abbas se in do Quranic Ayaton ke baare mein puchho: 'Aur us jaan ko qatl mat karo jise Allah ne pavitr banaya hai, siwaye uchit kaaranon ke.' (25:68) 'Aur jo koi jaanboojhkar kisi momin ko qatl karta hai, uska badla Dozakh hai.' (4:93)" Isliye maine Ibn Abbas se pucha jinhone kaha, "Jab Surah-al-Furqan wali Ayat naazil hui, Mecca ke kaafiron ne kaha, 'Magar humne aisi jaan qatl ki hai jise Allah ne pavitr banaya hai, aur humne Allah ke saath doosre devtaon ko pukara hai, aur humne zina bhi kiya hai.' Isliye Allah ne naazil kiya: 'Siwaye un logon ke jo tauba karte hain, iman late hain, aur neik amal karte hain...' (25:70) Isliye yeh Ayat un logon ke sandarbh mein thi. Jahaan tak Surat-an-Nisa ki Ayat (4:93) ka sawal hai, iska matlab hai ke agar koi shaks, Islam aur uske qawaanin aur zimmedaariyon ko samjhne ke baad, kisi ko qatl karta hai, to uski saza hai ke woh (Dozakh ki) aag mein hamesha ke liye rahe." Phir maine yeh Mujahid ko bataya jinhone kaha, "Siwaye us shaks ke jo pachhtata hai (apne gunah par)."
