حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَوْ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَكَمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الَّتِي فِي الْفُرْقَانِ وَالَّذِينَ لا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلا بِالْحَقِّ سورة الفرقان آية 68 قَالَ مُشْرِكُو أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ قَتَلْنَا النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَدَعَوْنَا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَأَتَيْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلا صَالِحًا فَأُولَئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ[ سورة الفرقان آية 70] فَهَذِهِ لِأُولَئِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَأَمَّا الَّتِي فِي النِّسَاءِ وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ [سورة النساء آية 93 الْآيَةَ]، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ الرَّجُلُ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا عَرَفَ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ ثُمَّ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ لَا تَوْبَةَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرْتُ هَذَا لِمُجَاهِدٍ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِلَّا مَنْ نَدِمَ .

I asked Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما (about the verse relating to intentional homicide in Surat An-Nisa') He said: When the verse Those who invoke not with Allah any other god, nor slay such life as Allah had made sacred, except for just cause was revealed, the polytheists of Makkah said: We have killed the soul prohibited by Allah, invoked another god along with Allah for worship, and committed shameful deeds. So Allah revealed the verse unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good. This is meant for them. As regards the verse if a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell He said: If a man knows the command of Islam and intentionally kills a believer, his repentance will not be accepted. I then mentioned it to Mujahid. He said: Except the one who is ashamed (of his sin).
