حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. ح وَحَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَنُصَيْرُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زُرَيْعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُطَرِّفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَتَغَيَّظَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ تَأْذَنُ لِي يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَذْهَبَتْ كَلِمَتِي غَضَبَهُ فَقَامَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَخَلَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا الَّذِي قُلْتَ آنِفًا ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ ائْذَنْ لِي أَضْرِبُ عُنُقَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَكُنْتَ فَاعِلًا لَوْ أَمَرْتُكَ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا كَانَتْ لِبَشَرٍ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا لَفْظُ يَزِيدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ:‏‏‏‏ أَيْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَجُلًا إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى الثَّلَاثِ الَّتِي قَالَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّه صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ كُفْرٌ بَعْدَ إِيمَانٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ زِنًا بَعْدَ إِحْصَانٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ قَتْلُ نَفْسٍ بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ.

I was with Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ . He became angry at a man and uttered hot words. I said: Do you permit me, Caliph of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, that I cut off his neck? These words of mine removed his anger; he stood and went in. He then sent for me and said: What did you say just now? I said: (I had said: ) Permit me that I cut off his neck. He said: Would you do it if I ordered you? I said: Yes. He said: No, I swear by Allah, this is not allowed for any man after Muhammad صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Abu Dawud said: This is Yazid's version. Ahmad bin Hanbal said: That is, Abu Bakr has no powers to slay a man except for three reasons which the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم had mentioned: disbelief after belief, fornication after marriage, or killing a man without (murdering) any man by him. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم had powers to kill.
