Chapter 25 · The Chapter on Blood Moneyحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو لَيْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي عُكَّاشَةَ، عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْمُخْتَارِ فِي قَصْرِهِ، فَقَالَ: قَامَ جِبْرَائِيلُ مِنْ عِنْدِيَ السَّاعَةَ فَمَا مَنَعَنِي مِنْ ضَرْبِ عُنُقِهِ إِلَّا حَدِيثٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِذَا أَمِنَكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَمِهِ فَلَا تَقْتُلْهُ فَذَاكَ الَّذِي مَنَعَنِي مِنْهُ.

It was narrated that Rifa'ah said: “I entered upon Mukhtar in his palace and he said: 'Jibril has just left me.' Nothing stopped me from striking his neck (i.e, killing him) but a Hadith that I heard from Sulaiman bin Surad, according to which the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'If a man trusts you with his life, then do not kill him.' That is what stopped me.”
