أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَسَارَّهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اقْتُلُوهُ ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَيَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ . قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنَّمَا يَقُولُهَا تَعَوُّذًا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَقْتُلُوهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا:‏‏‏‏ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا،‏‏‏‏ عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا،‏‏‏‏ وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ .

We were with the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] and a man came and whispered to him. He said: 'Kill him.' Then he said: 'Does he bear witness to La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah)?' He said: 'Yes, but he is only saying it to protect himself.' The Messenger of Allah [ﷺ] said: 'Do not kill him, for I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah, and if they say it, their blood and their wealth are safe from me, except for a right that is due, and their reckoning will be with Allah.'
