Sahih al-Bukhari 3692 (Book 63, Hadith 80)
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) . “
Sahih al-Bukhari 3692 (Book 63, Hadith 80)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
