Hadith #75
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ تُقْتَلُ ظُلْمًا إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ الْأَوَّلِ كِفْلٌ مِنْ دَمِهَا ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ سَنَّ الْقَتْلَ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) — via Waki', from Sufyan, from al-A'mash, from 'Abdillah ibn Murra, from Masruq — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No soul is killed unjustly except that the first son of Adam [Cain] bears a share of its blood — for he was the first to establish the practice of killing.'
