سنن نسائی · Hadith 4031
It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘By the One besides Whom there is no other god, it is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim who bears witness to La ildha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah) and that I am the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, except in three cases: One who leaves Islam and splits away from the Jarna‘oh a person who has been married and then commits adulteiy, and a life for a life.” (Sahih) Al-A'mash said: “narrated it to Ibrahim, and he narrated it to me from Al-Aswad, from ‘Aishah, similarly.”
