Allah Mtukufu Zaidi anasema, {Wala msiuane nafsi zenu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kurehemu kwenu. Na yeyote atakayefanya hivyo kwa uadui na dhuluma, basi tutamwingiza motoni, na hilo ni jambo jepesi kwa Mwenyezi Mungu.} (An-Nisa: 29-30)

Allah Most High states, {And kill not one another. Surely, God is Compassionate to you, but whosoever does that in transgression and wrongfully, him We shall certainly roast at afire! and that for God is an easy matter.} (An-Nisa': 29-30)

Katika ufafanuzi wake wa aya hizi mbili, Al-Wahidy alisema, {Wala msijiue wenyewe kwa wenyewe,} Waislamu wamekatazwa kuuana kwa sababu ni wafuasi wa dini moja, Uislamu. Kwa hiyo wao ni kama mtu mmoja. Hii ndiyo maoni ya Ibn `Abbas na wengi wa wanazuoni. Hata hivyo, wanazuoni wengine wana maoni kwamba katazo katika aya hii linahusu kujiua tu. Kuunga mkono maoni yao, kundi hili la pili la wanazuoni linanukuu yafuatayo: "Abu Mansour Ibn Muhammad Al-Mmsuri alisimulia kwamba 'Amr Ibn Al-`Aas alisema, 'Katika vita vya Dhat Al-Salasil, nilipata ndoto ya kumwagika shahawa usiku wa baridi kali. Hali ya hewa ilikuwa ya baridi sana hata nikahofia kuugua ikiwa ningeoga. Kwa hiyo, nilitawadha kwa mchanga (Tayammum) na nikawaongoza wenzangu katika Sala ya Alfajiri. Tuliporudi Madina, Mtume ﷺ aliniambia, 'Ee `Amr! Je, uliwaongoza wenzako katika Sala ukiwa katika hali ya janaba?' Ndipo nikajibu, 'Ee Mjumbe wa Allah! Nilisoma aya isemayo, {Wala msijiue wenyewe kwa wenyewe. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kukurehemu.}' yaani, hakuoga kwa kuhofia kwamba ingeleta mwisho wa maisha yake. Aliposikia hayo, Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alitabasamu na akanyamaza.”1

In his explanation to these two verses, AI-Wahidy stated, {And kill not one another,} Muslims are prohibited to murder each other because they are adherents to one religion, Islam. Therefore they are like a single person. This is the opinion of Ibn `Abbas and the majority of scholars. However other scholars are of the opinion that the prohibition in this verse is restricted to suicide. To support their opinion, the latter group of scholars quotes the following " Abu Mansour Ibn Muhammad AI-Mmsuri narrated' Arnr Ibn AI- `Aas saying, "In the battle of Zatt Al-Salasil, I had a wet dream on a cold night. The weather was so cold that I feared becoming ill if I had had a shower. Therefore, I performed dry ablution (Tayamum) and led my companions in the Dawn Prayer. On our return to Medina, the Prophet (pbuh) said to me, 'O `Arnr! "Have you led your companions in Prayer while you were in a state of major impurity?" Then I responded, "O Messenger of Allah! I read the verse, {And kill not one another! Surely God is Compassionate to you.} i.e, he had not had a shower lest it would bring his life to an end. On hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) smiled and kept silent.”1

Tukio hili linaonyesha wazi kwamba 'Amr (radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) alielewa maana ya aya kama inayorejea kujiua, na Mtume wa Allah ﷺ hakukanusha jambo hili.

This incident has a clear indication that' Arnr (may Allah be pleased with him) grasped the meaning of the verse as a reference to suicide and the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) did not deny this.

{Lakini atakayefanya hivyo, ~ inarejea makatazo yote ambayo Sura inayataja tangu mwanzo wake, kwa mujibu wa kauli ya Ibn `Abbas (Allah awe radhi nao wawili). Lakini wanazuoni wengine wana maoni kwamba marejeo hapa ni kwa ulaji wa mali ya mtu mwingine bila haki na mauaji yasiyo ya haki.}

{But whosoever does that, ~ refers to all prohibitions that the Surah states from its beginning according to the saying of Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both). Other scholars, however, are of the opinion that the reference here is to the consumption of another's property with no right and unlawful murder.

{Kwa dhuluma na uvunjaji wa haki,} humaanisha kwamba wale wanaofanya mauaji au kujiua na kuasi Sheria za Allah.

{In transgression and wrongfully,} means that those who commit murder or suicide and rebel against the Laws of Allah.

{Hakika tutamtupa kwenye Moto; na hilo kwa Mwenyezi Mungu ni jambo jepesi.} Hakika Allah ndiye Mwenye Uwezo wa kila kitu, Anayeweza kutimiza alichoahidi au alichotisha.

{Him we shall certainly roast in a Fire; and that for God is an easy matter.} Surely, Allah is the Omnipotent Who has Power to fulfill what He has promised or warned.

Kutoka kwa Jundub bin 'Abdullah (Allah amridhie), Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Miongoni mwa waliokuwepo kabla yenu alikuwepo mtu mmoja aliyekuwa na jeraha. Alihuzunika sana hata akachukua kisu na kukata mkono wake. Damu iliendelea kutoka mpaka akafa. Allah Mtukufu alisema: 'Mja wangu amenitangulia kwa kuharakisha, nami nimemharamishia pepo.'"2

On the authority of Jundub Ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "There was amongst those before you a man who had a wound. He was depressed that he took a knife and cut his hand. The blood did not cease to flow until he died. Allah the Almighty said, 'My servant has forestalled Me, and I have forbidden paradise for him. .”2

Abu Hurairah (radhi Allahu anhu) alisimulia kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Yeyote atakayejitupa kwa makusudi kutoka juu ya mlima na akajiua, ataingia Motoni akianguka ndani yake, na atakaa humo milele. Na yeyote atakayekunywa sumu na kujiua kwayo, atabeba sumu yake mkononi mwake na kuinywa katika Moto, na atakaa humo milele. Na yeyote atakayejiua kwa silaha ya chuma, atabeba silaha hiyo mkononi mwake na kujichoma nayo katika Moto, na atakaa humo milele."1

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said, "Whoever purposely throws himself from a mountain and kills himself will be in the Hell-fire falling down into it and abiding therein perpetually forever; and whoever drinks poison and kills himself with it, he will carry his poison in his hand and drink it in the Hell-fire wherein he will abide forever, and whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, he will carry that weapon in his hand and stab himself with it in the Hell-fire wherein he will abide forever.”1

Thabit Ibn Al-Dahhak (radhiyallahu anhu) amesimulia kwamba Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Yeyote aliyejiua kwa kitu chochote duniani, atateswa kwa kitu hicho hicho siku ya Kiyama. Kumlaani muumini na kumshutumu kwa ukafiri ni sawa na kumuua."

Thabit Ibn Al-Dahhak (may Allah be pleased with him) reported the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) to have said, "He who killed himself with any thing in this world will be tormented with that very thing on the Day of Judgment. Both cursing the believer and charging him with disbelief is tantamount to killing him.” 2

Pia imepokewa katika Sahihi kwamba "Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ aliwaambia Maswahaba wake kuhusu mtu mmoja, aliyejeruhiwa wakati wa vita pamoja na Nabii ﷺ lakini hakuwa na subira, akajiua kwa ncha ya upanga wake. Nabii ﷺ alisema kwamba mtu huyu atakuwa miongoni mwa watu wa Motoni.” 3

It is also stated in the Sahih that "The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) told his Companions about a man, who was wounded during a battle with the Prophet but he was not patient and he killed himself with the tip of his sword. The Prophet (pbuh) said "that this man will to be among the people of Hell.” 3
