حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَشْه
َدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ التَّارِكُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَالْمُفَارِقُ الْجَمَاعَةَ وَالثَّيِّبُ الزَّانِي وَالنَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِمِثْلِهِ

It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet ﷺ said: "It is not lawful to shed the blood of a Muslim who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, except in three cases: one who abandons Islam, one who leaves the community, the married adulterer, and one who kills a person in retaliation."
