Sahih al-Bukhari 4559 (Book 65, Hadith 287)
‘And whoever murders a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell.’ (4.69)
And also His Statement: ‘…nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause …..except
those who repent, believe, and do good deeds.’ ” (25.68-70) So I asked Ibn `Abbas and he said, “When
this (25.68-69) was revealed, the people of Mecca said, “We have invoked other gods with Allah, and
we have murdered such lives which Allah has made sacred, and we have committed illegal sexual
intercourse. So Allah revealed:
‘Except those who repent, believe, and do good deeds and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’
(25.70)
