حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ الْقِتْبَانِيِّ قَالَ لَوْلَا کَلِمَةٌ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَمِقِ الْخُزَاعِيِّ لَمَشَيْتُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ رَأْسِ الْمُخْتَارِ وَجَسَدِهِ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ أَمِنَ رَجُلًا عَلَی دَمِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ لِوَائَ غَدْرٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2688
It was narrated that Rifaah bin Shaddad Al-Qitbani said: "Were it not for a word that I heard from 'Amr bin Hamiq Khuza'i, I would have separated the head of Al-Mukhtar from his body. I heard him saying: ‘The Messenger of Allah said: 'If a man trusts someone with his life then he kills him, he will carry a banner of treachery on the Day of Resurrection.'”
