Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْخٌ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَتَلَ صَغِيرًا أَوْ كَبِيرًا أَوْ أَحْرَقَ نَخْلًا أَوْ قَطَعَ شَجَرَةً مُثْمِرَةً أَوْ ذَبَحَ شَاةً لِإِهَابِهَا لَمْ يَرْجِعْ كَفَافًا.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Ishaq narrated to us from his book: Ibn Lahi'a narrated to us: a shaykh narrated to us, from Thawban, freedman of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever kills a small child or an elderly person, or burns a palm tree, or cuts down a fruit-bearing tree, or slaughters a sheep only for its skin, will not come out even (in the reckoning)."
