Sunan Ibn Majah, 2689

Rapporté par Rifa'ah : “Je suis entré chez Mukhtar dans son palais et il a dit : ‘Jibril vient juste de me quitter.’ Rien ne m’a empêché de le frapper au cou (c’est-à-dire de le tuer) sauf un hadith que j’ai entendu de Sulaiman bin Surad, selon lequel le Prophète (ﷺ) a dit : “Si un homme te fait confiance pour sa vie, ne le tue pas.” C’est cela qui m’a arrêté.”

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.”
