Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 37, Hadith 40

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that: The Prophet said: “The slain will bring his killer on the Day of Resurrection with his forelock and his head in his hand, and with his jugular veins flowing with blood, and will say: ‘O Lord, he killed me,’ until he draws near to the Throne.” They mentioned repentance to Ibn ‘Abbas and he recited this Verse: “And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell” He said: “It has not been abrogated since it was revealed; there is no way he could repent.”

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي وَرْقَاءُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏”‏ يَجِيءُ الْمَقْتُولُ بِالْقَاتِلِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ نَاصِيَتُهُ وَرَأْسُهُ فِي يَدِهِ وَأَوْدَاجُهُ تَشْخُبُ دَمًا يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ قَتَلَنِي حَتَّى يُدْنِيَهُ مِنَ الْعَرْشِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَذَكَرُوا لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ التَّوْبَةَ فَتَلاَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ ‏{‏ وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا ‏}‏ قَالَ مَا نُسِخَتْ مُنْذُ نَزَلَتْ وَأَنَّى لَهُ التَّوْبَةُ

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 37, Hadith 40

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Compiled by the renowned Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i during the 9th century, the Sunan an-Nasa’i is a pillar of Sunni hadith literature. It is universally recognized as one of the six most important collections, the Kutub al-Sittah. The text is comprised of more than 5,700 individual narrations that meticulously document the traditions and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. What sets al-Nasa’i’s work apart is his exceptionally rigorous critical approach to evaluating the chains of narration. His deliberate exclusion of unreliable reports has led scholars throughout history to regard the Sunan as one of the most trustworthy and authoritative sources for authentic hadith.
