Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ بِإِحْدَى ثَلاَثٍ النَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالثَّيِّبُ الزَّانِي، وَالْمَارِقُ مِنَ الدِّينِ التَّارِكُ الْجَمَاعَةَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

ʿUmar ibn Hafs narrated to us: My father narrated to us: Al-Aʿmash narrated to us, from ʿAbdullah ibn Murra, from Masruq, from ʿAbdullah, who said: The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “The blood of a Muslim who testifies that there is no god but God and that I am the Messenger of God is not lawful except in one of three cases: a life for a life; a previously married adulterer; or one who leaves the religion and abandons the community.”
