Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28316

Ahmad bin Abdah al-Dhabi told us, Hammad bin Zaid told us, on the authority of Yahya bin Saeed, on the authority of Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hanif, that Othman bin Affan, he approached the house on the day of the house and said, “I adjure you by God, do you know that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “It is not permissible to shed a man’s blood.” A Muslim, except for one of three things: adultery after being married, apostasy after Islam, or unjustly killing a person for which he was killed.” By God, I have not committed adultery during ignorance or Islam, nor have I committed apostasy since I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, nor have I killed the soul that God has forbidden, so for what? “You are killing me,” Abu Issa said, and on the authority of Ibn Masoud, Aisha, and Ibn Abbas. This is a good hadith. It was narrated by Hammad bin Salamah. On the authority of Yahya bin Saeed, so he narrated it. Yahya bin Saeed Al-Qattan and more than one person narrated this hadith on the authority of Yahya bin Saeed, but they did not stop it. They raise it. This hadith was narrated through more than one authority, on the authority of Uthman, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, with a chain of transmission traceable to the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace.
