Musnad Ahmad 1433 (Book 7, Hadith 26) #35052
Prohibiting Assassination in Faith

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the prohibition of assassination and how faith does not allow believers to resort to it.

It was narrated that al-Hasan said: A man said to az-Zubair: "Shall I kill 'Ali for you?" He said: "How would you kill him?" He said: "I will assassinate him".He said: "No, the Messenger of Allah said: Faith prohibits assassination; no believer should resort to that'.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلزُّبَيْرِ أَلَا أَقْتُلُ لَكَ عَلِيًّا قَالَ كَيْفَ تَقْتُلُهُ قَالَ أَفْتِكُ بِهِ قَالَ لَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْإِيمَانُ قَيْدُ الْفَتْكِ لَا يَفْتِكُ مُؤْمِنٌ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of assassination and how faith does not allow believers to resort to it. It was narrated by al-Hasan that a man asked az-Zubair if he should kill 'Ali for him, but az-Zubair refused and reminded him of what the Messenger of Allah said - that faith prohibits assassination and no believer should resort to it. This hadith teaches us that even if we are angry or hurt by someone, we must never take matters into our own hands as this goes against our faith. We must instead rely on Allah's justice and mercy, trusting in Him alone for guidance and resolution. It also teaches us that violence is never an acceptable solution, no matter what the situation may be. We must always strive for peace through dialogue rather than aggression or revenge.
