The Revelation of Verses on Intentional Killing

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that the verse "If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein for ever" was revealed six months after the verse "And those who invoke not with Allah any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred, except for just cause in Surat al-Furqan."

Narrated Zayd ibn Thabit: The verse "If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein for ever" was revealed six months after the verse "And those who invoke not with Allah any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred, except for just cause in Surat al-Furqan.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ مُجَالِدِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، أَنَّ خَارِجَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ يَقُولُ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏ وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا ‏}‏ بَعْدَ الَّتِي فِي الْفُرْقَانِ ‏{‏ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلاَ يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ ‏}‏ بِسِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect human life and think twice before taking any action which could lead to taking away someone's life.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that two verses were revealed by Allah. The first verse was from Surat al-Furqan and it states that one should not kill another person unless there is a just cause. Six months later, another verse was revealed which states that if someone kills another person intentionally then they will be punished in Hell forever. These verses are meant to teach us about the importance of respecting human life and how serious intentional killing is considered in Islam. We must always remember to think twice before taking any action which could lead to taking away someone's life as it can have serious consequences both in this world and the hereafter.
