(1) His statement: “or one who intentionally kills a believer”: Meaning he intended to kill him because he is a believer, or to aggravate, or to satisfy his opponent, or unless he is forgiven, due to His statement, the Exalted: Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills (Al-Nisa: 48). Al-Muzhir said: Meaning if he considered his blood lawful. So it is in (Al-Mirqat), and its elaboration was omitted for brevity.

(١)قوله: أو من يقتل مؤمنا متعمدا: بأن قصد قتله لكونه مؤمنًا أو إرادته تغليظاً أو حتى يرضى خصمه أو إلا أن يغفرله؛ لقوله تعالى: ﴿إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ، وَیَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لمن يَشَآءٌ﴾ (النساء: ٤٨) قال المظهر: أي إذاكان مستحلًاً دمه. كذا في (المرقاة) والبسط فيه، تركناه لطوله.
