حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو لَيْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي عُكَّاشَةَ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْمُخْتَارِ فِي قَصْرِهِ فَقَالَ قَامَ جِبْرَائِيلُ مِنْ عِنْدِي السَّاعَةَ . فَمَا مَنَعَنِي مِنْ ضَرْبِ عُنُقِهِ إِلاَّ حَدِيثٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " إِذَا أَمِنَكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَمِهِ فَلاَ تَقْتُلْهُ " . فَذَاكَ الَّذِي مَنَعَنِي مِنْهُ .

ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad narrated to us: Wakīʿ narrated to us: Abū Laylā narrated to us, from Abū ʿAkkāshah, from Rifāʿah, who said: I entered upon al-Mukhtār in his palace, and he said, “Jibrīl has just left me.” The only thing that kept me from striking his neck was a report I heard from Sulaymān ibn Ṣurad, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he said: “If a man entrusts you with his life, do not kill him.” That is what kept me from doing it.
