حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ تُقْتَلُ نَفْسٌ ظُلْمًا إِلاَّ كَانَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ الأَوَّلِ كِفْلٌ مِنْ دَمِهَا، لأَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ سَنَّ الْقَتْلَ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

ʿUmar ibn Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated to us: My father narrated to us: al-Aʿmash narrated to us: ʿAbd Allah ibn Murra narrated to me, from Masruq, from ʿAbd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whenever a person is killed unjustly, the first son of Adam bears a share of its bloodshed, for he was the first to establish killing.’

Translation notes

  • Kept the report’s formulation that the first son of Adam bears a share in the bloodshed of every unjust killing.
