\nNarrated Abu Qilaba:\n \n\nThat he was sitting behind `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz and the people mentioned and mentioned (about \nat-Qasama) and they said (various things), and said that the Caliphs had permitted it. `Umar bin \n`Abdul `Aziz turned towards Abu Qilaba who was behind him and said. "What do you say, O \n`Abdullah bin Zaid?" or said, "What do you say, O Abu Qilaba?" Abu Qilaba said, "I do not know that \nkilling a person is lawful in Islam except in three cases: a married person committing illegal sexual \nintercourse, one who has murdered somebody unlawfully, or one who wages war against Allah and \nHis Apostle." 'Anbasa said, "Anas narrated to us such-and-such." Abu Qilaba said, "Anas narrated to \nme in this concern, saying, some people came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and they spoke to him saying, 'The \nclimate of this land does not suit us.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'These are camels belonging to us, and they are \nto be taken out to the pasture. So take them out and drink of their milk and urine.' So they took them \nand set out and drank of their urine and milk, and having recovered, they attacked the shepherd, killed \nhim and drove away the camels.' Why should there be any delay in punishing them as they murdered \n(a person) and waged war against Allah and His Apostle and frightened Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" Anbasa \nsaid, "I testify the uniqueness of Allah!" Abu Qilaba said, "Do you suspect me?" 'Anbasa said, "No, \nAnas narrated that (Hadith) to us." Then 'Anbasa added, "O the people of such-and-such (country), \nyou will remain in good state as long as Allah keeps this (man) and the like of this (man) amongst \nyou."\n
