Then Prophet (sw) said: 'Which day is the most sacred?' They replied: 'This day.' Prophet (sw) said: 'Which month is the most sacred?' They replied: 'This month.' Prophet (sw) said: 'Which land is the most sacred?' They replied: 'This land.' Prophet (sw) then said: 'Indeed, your blood and your wealth are sacred upon you, just as the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this land of yours, until the day you meet Him (swt), and He (swt) will question you about your deeds. Behold! Have I (sw) conveyed?' They replied: 'Yes.' Prophet (sw) said: 'O' Allah (swt), bear witness. Indeed, whoever has a trust in his possession, let him return it to the one who entrusted him with it, for it is not permissible for anyone to shed the blood of a Muslim or take his wealth except with his willing consent. So, do not wrong yourselves, and do not turn back as disbelievers after Me (sw).'"

If no one knows about it, he should go to the family of the murdered person and confess to them that he killed their relative. If they forgive him and do not kill him, he must give them the blood money (diyyah), free a slave, fast for two consecutive months, and feed sixty needy people as repentance to Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic."

After that, the murdered will bring forth his killer, and his blood will gush onto the killer's face.

Hadith.5170 - Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Mansur ibn Yunus from Abu Hamzah from one of the two Imams (as), who said: The Messenger of Allah (swt) was approached, and it was said to Him (sw): "O' Messenger of Allah (swt), there has been a murder in Juhaynah." The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) stood up and went to their mosque. The people heard about it and gathered around him. Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Who killed this man?" They replied: "O' Messenger of Allah (swt), we do not know." Prophet (sw) said: "A Muslim has been killed among the Muslims, and no one knows who killed him? By the One (swt) who sent Me (sw) with the truth, if the people of the heavens and the people of the earth were to come together and participate in the shedding of a Muslim's blood and were pleased with it, Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, would surely cast them all down on their faces - or He (swt) said, on their noses - into the Fire."

Hadith.5171 - Samaah asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the saying of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic: "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell" (Surah An-Nisa 4:93).

I asked: "What about a man who has a dispute with another man, and in the heat of the moment strikes him with a sword and kills him?" Imam (as) said: "That is not the intentional killing that Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, referred to."

Hadith.5173 - In the narration of Ibrahim ibn Abi Al-Bilad from someone who mentioned it from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), that he said: "During the time of the Commander of the Faithful (as), there was a truthful woman known as Umm Fattan. A man from the companions of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) came to her and greeted her, finding her distressed. He asked her: 'Why do I see you worried?' She replied: 'A female servant of mine passed away, and I buried her, but the earth rejected her twice.' The man went to the Commander of the Faithful (as) and informed him of this. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: 'Indeed, the earth accepts the Jew and the Christian, so why would it reject her unless she was being punished by Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic?' Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) then said: 'If soil from the grave of a Muslim man were taken and scattered over her grave, the earth would settle.'" The man returned to Umm Fattan and informed her of this. She took soil from the grave of a Muslim man and scattered it over her servant's grave, and the earth accepted her. When he inquired about the servant's deeds, it was said: 'She had an intense love for men, and whenever she gave birth, she would throw her child into the oven.'"

And to disassociate from one's lineage, no matter how small, is an act of disbelief in Allah (swt), the Almighty.'"
