It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hussain b. Sa’eed from Abdulrahman b. Abi Najran from Muhammad b. Sinan from Abi al-Jarud from Muhammad b. Ali (a.s.) who said: “A murder victim is not good or bad. He will be brought on the Judgment Day holding his killer by his collar with the right hand and holding his severed head in the left with blood dripping from it. He will say: O Lord!

Ask him why he had murdered me? Thus if he had killed on the order of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, Allah will take the murderer to Paradise and the person to Hell but if he had killed him on the order of someone else, he would be told, ‘Kill him like he killed you.’ Then Allah will deal with them as He likes.”
