Sunan an-Nasai 4055 — Leaving for the Land of Shirk

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 4055

This narration repeats Jarir’s statement through another chain. He says that any slave who runs away to the land of Shirk has made his blood lawful. The repeated wording supports the same narrow topic: a runaway slave crossing into territory described as the land of Shirk. It is important not to expand the text into claims about every kind of escape, migration, or disagreement. The report gives one specific condition and one severe legal consequence. It is also a statement from Jarir in this wording. According to Islamic scholars, matters involving protected life and conflict are decided only by lawful authority through proper procedures. The hadith must never be used as a personal command to harm someone or as a basis for vigilante action.
