أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تُقْتَلُ نَفْسٌ ظُلْمًا إِلاَّ كَانَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ الأَوَّلِ كِفْلٌ مِنْ دَمِهَا وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ سَنَّ الْقَتْلَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

ʿAmr ibn ʿAli reported to us, from ʿAbd al-Rahman, who said: Sufyan narrated to us, from al-Aʿmash, from ʿAbdullah ibn Murrah, from Masruq, from ʿAbdullah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: ‘No person is killed unjustly without a share of responsibility for that blood falling upon the first son of Adam, because he was the first to establish the practice of killing.’
