حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ اللَّيْثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْخِيَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ فَقَاتَلَنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَضَرَبَ إِحْدَى يَدَيَّ بِالسَّيْفِ ثُمَّ لَاذَ مِنِّي بِشَجَرَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَسْلَمْتُ لِلَّهِ أَفَأَقْتُلُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَالَهَا ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَقْتُلْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ قَطَعَ يَدِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَقْتُلْهُ فَإِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ بِمَنْزِلَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَهُ وَأَنْتَ بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُولَ كَلِمَتَهُ الَّتِي قَالَ .

He said “Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم tell me if I meet a man who is a disbeliever and he fights with me and cuts off one hand of mine with the sword and then takes refuge by a tree and says “I embraced Islam for Allah’s sake. Should I kill him, Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم after he uttered it (the credo of Islam)? The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said “Do not kill him”. I said “Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, he cut off my hand. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said, Do not kill him. I f you kill him, he will become like you before you kill him and you will become like him before he uttered his credo which he has uttered now.
