{And whoever kills a believer intentionally, then his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally}, [until the end of] the verse.
Yahya said: It reached me that Umar ibn al-Khattab said: "When Allah revealed the obligations (al-muwajibāt) for which He made the Fire mandatory for whoever commits them—including: {And whoever kills a believer intentionally} or [things] similar to that—we used to refrain from bearing witness [that such a person is definitely in the Fire], until this verse was revealed: {Indeed, Allah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills}; so we refrained from bearing witness [altogether]."
Yahya [narrated] from Asim ibn Hakim, (from Khalid ibn Abi Karima, from Abd Allah ibn Maysur, from Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah), from Ali, who said: "Do not consign the knowers (al-ʿārifīn) and the narrators (al-muḥaddithīn) to Paradise nor to the Fire, until it is Allah Himself who judges regarding them on the Day of Resurrection." [Verse 94]
﴿وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّم خَالِدا﴾ الْآيَة.
قَالَ يحيى: بَلغنِي أَن عُمَر بْن الخَطَّاب قَالَ: لما أنزل الله الموجبات الَّتِي أوجب عَلَيْهَا النَّار؛ لمن عمل بهَا: وَمن يقتل مُؤمنا مُتَعَمدا (أَو أشباه) ذَلِكَ كُنَّا نبث عَلَيْهِ الشَّهَادَة حتَّى نزلت هَذِهِ الْآيَة ﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِك لمن يَشَاء﴾ فَكَفَفْنَا عَنِ الشَّهَادَة.
يَحْيَى: عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، (عَنْ خَالِدِ بن أبي كَرِيمَة، عَن عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَيْسُورٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ)، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: ((لَا تُنْزِلُوا الْعَارِفِينَ الْمُحَدِّثِينَ الْجَنَّةَ وَلا النَّارَ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ اللَّهُ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقْضِي فِيهِمْ يَوْم الْقِيَامَة)). [آيَة ٩٤]
