Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ رَقَبَةَ بْنِ مَصْقَلَةَ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَمُرَةَ - قَالَ كُنْتُ آخِذًا بِيَدِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فِي طَرِيقٍ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذْ أَتَى عَلَى رَأْسٍ مَنْصُوبٍ فَقَالَ شَقِيَ قَاتِلُ هَذَا ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا مَضَى قَالَ وَمَا أَرَى هَذَا إِلاَّ قَدْ شَقِيَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ مَنْ مَشَى إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لِيَقْتُلَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ هَكَذَا فَالْقَاتِلُ فِي النَّارِ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ أَوْ سُمَيْرَةَ وَرَوَاهُ لَيْثُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ عَوْنٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سُمَيْرَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ لِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ - يَعْنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ - عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ وَقَالَ هُوَ فِي كِتَابِي ابْنُ سَبْرَةَ وَقَالُوا سَمُرَةَ وَقَالُوا سُمَيْرَةَ هَذَا كَلاَمُ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu al-Walid al-Tayalisi narrated to us: Abu Awanah narrated to us, from Raqabah ibn Masqalah, from Awn ibn Abi Juhayfah, from Abd al-Rahman, meaning Ibn Samurah, who said: I was holding Ibn Umar hand along one of the roads of Medina when he came upon a head mounted on a pole. He said, “Wretched is the one who killed this man.” After he passed it, he said, “I consider that man wretched indeed. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Whoever sets out to kill a man of my community, let him say this: the killer is in the Fire and the one killed is in Paradise.” Abu Dawud said: al-Thawri narrated it from Abd al-Rahman ibn Sumayr or Sumayrah, and Layth ibn Abi Sulaym narrated it from Awn, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Sumayrah. Abu Dawud said: al-Hasan ibn Ali told me that Abu al-Walid narrated this report from Abu Awanah; in his book the name was Ibn Sabrah, while others said Samurah or Sumayrah. These are Abu al-Walid wording notes.
