There was a blind man during the time of the Messenger of Allah [SAW] who had an Umm Walad by whom he had two sons. She used to slander and defame the Messenger of Allah [SAW] a great deal, and he would rebuke her, but she would not pay heed, and he would forbid her to do that, but she ignored him. (The blind man said) One night I mentioned the Prophet [SAW], and she slandered him. I could not bear it so I went and got a dagger which I thrust into her stomach and leaned upon it, and killed her. In the morning she was found slain. Mention of that was made to the Prophet [SAW] and he gathered the people and said: "I adjure by Allah; a man over whom I have the right, that he should obey me, and he did what he did, to stand up." The blind man started to tremble and said: "O Messenger of Allah [SAW], I am the one who killed her. She was my Umm Walad and she was kind and gentle toward me, and I have two sons like pearls from her, but she used to slander and defame you a great deal. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not pay heed. Finally, I mentioned your name and she slandered you, so I went and got a dagger which I thrust into her stomach, and leaned on it until I killed her. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "I bear witness that her blood is permissible." - Hadith An Nasai 4070 (islam)

On the day when Mecca was conquered, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave protection to the People except four men and two women and he named them. Ibn AbuSarh was one of them.
He then narrated the tradition. He said: Ibn AbuSarh hid himself with Uthman ibn Affan. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called the people to take the oath of allegiance, he brought him and made him stand before the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: Messenger of Allah, receive the oath of allegiance from him. He raised his head and looked at him thrice, denying him every time. After the third time he received his oath. He then turned to his Companions and said: Is not there any intelligent man among you who would stand to this (man) when he saw me desisting from receiving the oath of allegiance, and kill him? They replied: We do not know, Messenger of Allah, what lies in your heart; did you not give us an hint with your eye? He said: It is not proper for a Prophet to have a treacherous eye.

Book 14, Hadith 2677

While I was standing in the row on the day (of the battle) of Badr, I looked to my right and my left
and saw two young Ansari boys, and I wished I had been stronger than they. One of them called my
attention saying, "O Uncle! Do you know Abu Jahl?" I said, "Yes, What do you want from him, O my
nephew?" He said, "I have been informed that he abuses Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). By Him in Whose Hands my
life is, if I should see him, then my body will not leave his body till either of us meet his fate." I was
astonished at that talk. Then the other boy called my attention saying the same as the other had said.
After a while I saw Abu Jahl walking amongst the people. I said (to the boys), "Look! This is the man
you asked me about." So, both of them attacked him with their swords and struck him to death and
returned to Allah'S Apostle to inform him of that. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "Which of you has killed
him?" Each of them said, "I Have killed him." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "Have you cleaned your
swords?" They said, "No. " He then looked at their swords and said, "No doubt, you both have killed
him and the spoils of the deceased will be given to Mu`adh bin `Amr bin Al-Jamuh." The two boys
were Mu`adh bin 'Afra and Mu`adh bin `Amr bin Al-Jamuh. - Hadith Al Bukhari 3141 (islam)

Vol. 4, Book 53, Hadith 369

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Who is willing to kill Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?
Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Would you like that I kil
him?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thin
(i.e. to deceive Ka`b). "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You may say it." Then Muhammad bin Maslama went t
Ka`b and said, "That man (i.e. Muhammad demands Sadaqa (i.e. Zakat) from us, and he has trouble
us, and I have come to borrow something from you." On that, Ka`b said, "By Allah, you will get tire
of him!" Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Now as we have followed him, we do not want to leave hi
unless and until we see how his end is going to be. Now we want you to lend us a camel load or tw
of food." (Some difference between narrators about a camel load or two.) Ka`b said, "Yes, (I will len
you), but you should mortgage something to me.
Muhammad bin Mas-lama and his companion said, "What do you want?" Ka`b replied, "Mortgag
your women to me." They said, "How can we mortgage our women to you and you are the mos
handsome of the 'Arabs?" Ka`b said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." They said, "How can w
mortgage our sons to you? Later they would be abused by the people's saying that so-and-so has bee
mortgaged for a camel load of food. That would cause us great disgrace, but we will mortgage ou
arms to you." Muhammad bin Maslama and his companion promised Ka`b that Muhammad woul
return to him. He came to Ka`b at night along with Ka`b's foster brother, Abu Na'ila. Ka`b invite
them to come into his fort, and then he went down to them. His wife asked him, "Where are you goin
at this time?" Ka`b replied, "None but Muhammad bin Maslama and my (foster) brother Abu Na'il
have come.
His wife said, "I hear a voice as if dropping blood is from him, Ka`b said. "They are none but m
brother Muhammad bin Maslama and my foster brother Abu Naila. A generous man should respond t
a call at night even if invited to be killed." Muhammad bin Maslama went with two men. (Som
narrators mention the men as 'Abu bin Jabr. Al Harith bin Aus and `Abbad bin Bishr). S
Muhammad bin Maslama went in together with two men, and sail to them, "When Ka`b comes, I wil
touch his hair and smell it, and when you see that I have got hold of his head, strip him. I will let yo
smell his head." Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf came down to them wrapped in his clothes, and diffusin
perfume. Muhammad bin Maslama said. " have never smelt a better scent than this. Ka`b replied. "
have got the best 'Arab women who know how to use the high class of perfume." Muhammad bi
Maslama requested Ka`b "Will you allow me to smell your head?" Ka`b said, "Yes." Muhamma
smelt it and made his companions smell it as well. Then he requested Ka`b again, "Will you let m
(smell your head)?" Ka`b said, "Yes." When Muhammad got a strong hold of him, he said (to hi
companions), "Get at him!" So they killed him and went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him. (Abu Rafi`
was killed after Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf." - Hadith Al Bukhari 4037 (islam)

Vol. 5, Book 59, Hadith 369

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent `Abdullah bin 'Atik and `Abdullah bin `Utba with a group of men to Abu Rafi`
(to kill him). They proceeded till they approached his castle, whereupon `Abdullah bin Atik said to
them, "Wait (here), and in the meantime I will go and see." `Abdullah said later on, "I played a trick in
order to enter the castle. By chance, they lost a donkey of theirs and came out carrying a flaming light
to search for it. I was afraid that they would recognize me, so I covered my head and legs and
pretended to answer the call to nature. The gatekeeper called, 'Whoever wants to come in, should
come in before I close the gate.' So I went in and hid myself in a stall of a donkey near the gate of the
castle. They took their supper with Abu Rafi` and had a chat till late at night. Then they went back to
their homes.
When the voices vanished and I no longer detected any movement, I came out. I had seen where the
gate-keeper had kept the key of the castle in a hole in the wall. I took it and unlocked the gate of the
castle, saying to myself, 'If these people should notice me, I will run away easily.' Then I locked all
the doors of their houses from outside while they were inside, and ascended to Abu Rafi` by a
staircase. I saw the house in complete darkness with its light off, and I could not know where the man
was. So I called, 'O Abu Rafi`!' He replied, 'Who is it?' I proceeded towards the voice and hit him. He
cried loudly but my blow was futile. Then I came to him, pretending to help him, saying with a
different tone of my voice, ' What is wrong with you, O Abu Rafi`?' He said, 'Are you not surprised?
Woe on your mother! A man has come to me and hit me with a sword!' So again I aimed at him and
hit him, but the blow proved futile again, and on that Abu Rafi` cried loudly and his wife got up.
I came again and changed my voice as if I were a helper, and found Abu Rafi` lying straight on his
back, so I drove the sword into his belly and bent on it till I heard the sound of a bone break. Then I
came out, filled with astonishment and went to the staircase to descend, but I fell down from it and got
my leg dislocated. I bandaged it and went to my companions limping. I said (to them), 'Go and tell
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) of this good news, but I will not leave (this place) till I hear the news of his (i.e. Abu
Rafi`'s) death.' When dawn broke, an announcer of death got over the wall and announced, 'I convey
to you the news of Abu Rafi`'s death.' I got up and proceeded without feeling any pain till I caught up
with my companions before they reached the Prophet (ﷺ) to whom I conveyed the good news." - Hadith Al Bukhari 4040 (islam)

Vol. 5, Book 59, Hadith 372

I asked `Ali "Do you have anything Divine literature besides what is in the Qur'an?" Or, as Uyaina
once said, "Apart from what the people have?" `Ali said, "By Him Who made the grain split
(germinate) and created the soul, we have nothing except what is in the Qur'an and the ability (gift) of
understanding Allah's Book which He may endow a man, with and what is written in this sheet of
paper." I asked, "What is on this paper?" He replied, "The legal regulations of Diya (Blood-money)
and the (ransom for) releasing of the captives, and the judgment that no Muslim should be killed in
Qisas (equality in punishment) for killing a Kafir (disbeliever). - Hadith Al Bukhari 6915 (islam)

The following are not subject to retaliation:
(1) a child or insane person, under any circumstances (0: whether Muslim or non-Muslim.
The ruling for a person intermittently insane is that he is considered as a sane person when in his right mind, and as if someone continuously insane when in an interval of insanity. If someone against whom retaliation is obligatory subsequently becomes insane, the fuB penalty is nevertheless exacted, A homicide committed by someone who is drunk is (A: considered the same as that of a sane person,) like his pronouncing divorce (dis:n1.2));
(2) a Muslim for killing a non-Muslim;
(3) a Jewish or Christian subject of the Islamic state for killing an apostatefrom Islam (0:
because a subject of the state is under its protection, while killing an apostate from Islam is without consequences);
(4) a father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring's offspring;
(5) nor is retaliation permissible to a descendant for (A: his ancestor's) killing someone whose death would otherwise entitle the descendant to retaliate, such as when his father kills his mother. - Fiqh Umdat o1.2 (islam)

(n:) The following rigorously authenticated (sahih) hadith has been translated below with two commentaries, one by 'Abd al-Ra'uf Munawi (M:) and the other by Muhammad ibn 'Allan Bakri (B:), The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:
"Allah Most High says: 'He who is hostile to a friend (waH) of Mine I declare war against. My slave approaches Me with nothing more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory for him, and My slave keeps drawing nearer to Me with voluntary works until I love him. And when I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he seizes, and his foot with which he walks. If he asks Me, I will surely give to him, and ifhe seeks refuge in Me, I will surely protect him.' " He who is hostile to a friend (wali) of Mine (M: friend meaning the knower of Allah ('arif billah) who is constant in obedience to Him and sincere in his acts of worship) (B: that is, he who is close to Allah by his devotion to Him through obeying His commands and shunning the acts He has forbidden) I declare war against (M: I inform him that I shall make war upon him, meaning that Allah will deal with him as one at war does, namely, with theophanies against him of manifestations of omnipotent force and majesty, this being the ultimate threat. The words hostile to a friend (wali) mean hostile to him for being a friend (waH), not just any hostility whatever.
It excludes such things as taking him to court to have him fulfill an obligation. Rather, hostility to him for being a friend of Allah is to deny it out of mere obstinacy or envy, or to disparage or abuse him, and similar kinds of ill-treatment. And when the peril of being hostile toward such a person is appreciated, the reward for friendship with him may likewise be inferred) (B: I declare war against means I shall fight this enemy for him, i.e. destroy him. And this is a very severe threat for opposing or having enmity towards someone Allah loves. Too, the affirmation of Allah's fighting the enemies of His friends entails the affirmation of His friendship for those who befriend them).
My slave approaches Me with nothing more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory for him (B: meaning the performance of what I have made obligatory for him, whether individually or communally. The obligatory is more beloved to Allah than voluntary devotions because it is more perfect, since the command to do it is absolute, implying a reward for its performance and punishment for its nonperformance, as opposed to voluntary devotions, whose nonperformance is unpunished, and which, it is said, amount to but one-seventieth of the value of an obligatory act), and My slave keeps drawing nearer to Me with voluntary works until I love him. And when I love him. I am his hearing (B: the protector of his hearing) with which he hears (B: meaning He who keeps it from being used to hear what is not permissible to listen to, such as slander, talebearing, and the like), his sight with which he sees (B: safeguarding it from what is unlawful to look at), his hand with which he seizes (B: so that he takes only what is lawful), and his foot with which he walks (B: so that he walks only to what is permitted) (M: in summary, whoever draws near to Allah through what is obligatory; and then through voluntary works, Allah draws him nearer and elevates him from the level of true faith (iman) to the level of the perfection of faith (ihsan, dis: u4) such that the knowledge in his heart becomes visible to the eye of his spiritual perception. To fill one's heart with knowledge of Allah effaces what is other than Him, so that one speaks not except of Him, moves not save at His behest, and if one looks, it is through Him, and if one seizes, it is through Him. And this is the consummate awareness of the oneness of Allah) (B: the consequence of which is the preservation of the individual's whole person, so that he forsakes selfish desire and is wholly absorbed in obedience. Another interpretive possibility is that the hadith is a metaphor for Allah's help and assistance, as if Allah Most High, figuratively speaking, were to play the role of the senses with which the individual perceives and the limbs he relies on.
A variant has the addendum:)
so that through Me he hears, through Me he sees, through Me he seizes, and through Me he walks (M: concerning which, the sheikhs of the Sufis (Allah Most High be well pleased with them) have had disclosures of the hidden and experiential indications that would make crumbled bones quake. But these are of no use save to those who tread their path and come to know the wellspring from which they drink, as opposed to those who do not, and .are not safe from grave error and falling into the abyss of believing that Allah can indwell in created things (hulul, dis: w7.1), or that other than Him can unite with Him (ittihad, w7.2) (B: this then, and those who fancy that other than Allah can unite with Him or that Allah can indwell in created things claim that the import of the hadith is not figurative but literal, and that Allah, far exalted above what they say, actually permeates or unifies with one, may Allah render them even viler).
If he asks Me, I will surely give to him (M: what he asks, as happened to many of the early Muslims), and if he seeks refuge in Me, I will surelyproteet him (M: from what he fears, this being the way of a lover with his beloved. His unquestionable promise, solemnified by the form of the oath (n: in the words "I will surely"), entails that whoever draws near to Him through the above will'not have his prayer (du'a') rejected).
