Gravity of killing a Muslim
Q 2: Was the following Hadith authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) “That this world should entirely vanish is lighter in the Sight of Allah than killing a Muslim person” ?
A: It was related by Al-Nasa'y in his book, Al-Sunan, and Al-Tirmidhy on the authority of `Abdullah ibn `Amr ibn Al-`As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “That this world should vanish is lighter in the Sight of Allah than killing a Muslim person.” The authentic narrations of this Hadith do not include the word 'entirely'. Also, it was related by Ibn Majah in his book, Al-Sunan, on the authority of Al-Bara' ibn `Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "That this world should vanish is lighter in the Sight of Allah than killing a believer unjustly. (Part No. 21; Page No. 226) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
