حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّىُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِى أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ أَشْرَفَ يَوْمَ الدَّارِ فَقَالَ أَنْشُدُكُمُ اللَّهَ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لاَ يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِلاَّ بِإِحْدَى ثَلاَثٍ زِنًا بَعْدَ إِحْصَانٍ أَوِ ارْتِدَادٍ بَعْدَ إِسْلاَمٍ أَوْ قَتْلِ نَفْسٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ فَقُتِلَ بِهِ. فَوَاللَّهِ مَا زَنَيْتُ فِى جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَلاَ فِى إِسْلاَمٍ وَلاَ ارْتَدَدْتُ مُنْذُ بَايَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَلاَ قَتَلْتُ النَّفْسَ الَّتِى حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فَبِمَ تَقْتُلُونَنِى قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَرَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ فَرَفَعَهُ. وَرَوَى يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَأَوْقَفُوهُ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعُوهُ وَقَدْ رُوِىَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَرْفُوعًا.
’Uthmān Ibn-’Affān came out on the Day of the House (1) and said, "I adjure you by God; do you know that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, 'Shedding the blood of a Muslim is not permissible (as defined by God) except in one of three [cases]: adultery, apostasy after [embracing] Islam or killing a soul unrightfully and therefore, being executed in return'? By God, I did not commit adultery in the pre-Islamic time (2) nor after [embracing] Islam, I have not apostatized since I pledged to the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and I have not killed the soul that God has forbidden [to be killed]. So what are you killing me for?" Footnotes: (1) This refers to the period when ’Uthmān Ibn-’Affān's house in Madīnah was under siege. In 656, a group of rebels had confined him inside his house as part of a rebellion against the Caliphate rule that started in Egypt, Basrah and Kūfah. The rebels ended up killing 'Ūthmān while he was still under siege. (2) (Jāhiliyyah) literally means ignorance and refers to the pre-Islamic pagan practices, i.e. the fragility of moral values and manners, injustice and commitment of atrocities against humans, animals and the environment. A more general meaning for (Jāhiliyyah) that applies to modern times is: A state that befalls humanity when it steers away from God’s path. Click on ḥadīth to read more

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, “Whoever prays the dawn prayer (1) is under God’s covenant of protection. So take heed that God does not call you to account due to forsaking His covenant (by abandoning the dawn prayer).” Footnote: (1): (Fajr) The first prescribed prayer of the day that takes place before sunrise.

ʻUmar Ibnul-Khaṭṭāb gave a sermon at al-Jābiyah (1) and said, “People, indeed I stand before you in the way that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to stand before us. He had said, ‘I commend my Companions to you, then their successors, then those who succeed them. Thereafter lying will spread so that a man (2) will take an oath, without being bidden to swear; and one will stand as witness without being bidden to testify. Verily, no man will be in a solitary company with a woman, but the devil will be their third. Hold fast to the community and beware of division, for the devil will be nearer to the solitary one and further from the company of two. Whoever wants the luxury of heaven let him keep to the community. He who delights in doing good, and loathes doing ill is a man of faith." Footnotes: (1): A village in Damascus, Syria.
