أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ : أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ ، وَكَانَ فِي كِتَابِهِ :" أَنَّ مَنْ اعْتَبَطَ مُؤْمِنًا قَتْلًا عَنْ بَيِّنَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ قَوَدُ يَديِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَرْضَى أَوْلِيَاءُ الْمَقْتُولِ ".
قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ : اعْتَبَطَ : قَتَلَ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ

Al-Hakam bin Musa told us, Yahya bin Hamza told us, on the authority of Sulayman bin Dawud, Al-Zuhri told me, on the authority of Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr bin Hazm, on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, wrote to the people of Yemen, and it was in his letter: “Whoever accuses a believer of killing him with clear evidence – that is his own punishment, unless the guardians of the person killed are satisfied.”
Abu Muhammad said: He was mistaken: he was killed for no reason.
