Hadith #5168

5168 - وَ رَوَى عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى وَ زُرْعَةُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَمَّنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِناً مُتَعَمِّداً هَلْ لَهُ تَوْبَةٌ فَقَالَ "لاَ حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَ دِيَتَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ يُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً وَ يَصُومَ "شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتٰابِعَيْنِ" وَ يَسْتَغْفِرَ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَتُوبَ إِلَيْهِ وَ يَتَضَرَّعَ فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ يُتَابَ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا هُوَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ" قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ يُؤَدِّي دِيَتَهُ قَالَ "يَسْأَلُ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَ دِيَتَهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ".

Hadith.5168 - Uthman ibn Isa and Zurah narrated from Samaah from Abu Abdullah , who said: I asked Imam about a person who intentionally kills a believer - does he have repentance? Imam said: "No, not until he pays the blood money (diyyah) to the victim's family, frees a slave, fasts for two consecutive months, seeks forgiveness from Allah the Almighty and Majestic, repents to Him , and humbly supplicates. I hope that if he does all of this, his repentance will be accepted." I asked: "May I be your ransom, what if he has no wealth to pay the blood money?" Imam said: "Then he should ask the Muslims for help until he is able to pay the blood money to the victim's family."
