Muhammad ibn Abd al-Ala al-Sanani reported to us: Mutamir ibn Sulayman reported to us, from his father, from Hanash, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace), who said, ‘A believer is not to be killed in retaliation for a non-Muslim, nor a person under covenant during the term of his covenant.’
