Arabic hadith text

وَعَن جُنْدبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي فُلَانٌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " يَجِيءُ الْمَقْتُولُ بِقَاتِلِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ: سَلْ هَذَا فِيمَ قَتَلَنِي؟ فَيَقُولُ: قَتَلْتُهُ عَلَى مُلْكِ فُلَانٍ ". قَالَ جُنْدُبٌ: فاتَّقِها. رَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيّ

Translation

Jundub reported: So-and-so told me that the Messenger of God said: ‘On the Day of Resurrection, the slain person will bring the one who killed him and say, Ask this man why he killed me. He will say, I killed him over the property of so-and-so.’ Jundub said: ‘So beware of it.’ Al-Nasa'i transmitted it.

Translation notes
  • The English witness notes uncertainty about the reading of the word for property; the translation follows its chosen reading and omits the explanatory footnote.
