Hadith.5181 - Zurarah narrated from Abu Abdullah (as), who said
"The practice of Qasamah was established as a precaution for people so that if a wicked person intended to kill or assassinate someone where no one could see him, he would fear this ruling and refrain from committing murder."
5181 - وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"إِنَّمَا جُعِلَتِ اَلْقَسَامَةُ اِحْتِيَاطاً لِلنَّاسِ لِكَيْمَا إِذَا أَرَادَ اَلْفَاسِقُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَجُلاً أَوْ يَغْتَالَ رَجُلاً حَيْثُ لاَ يَرَاهُ أَحَدٌ خَافَ ذَلِكَ فَامْتَنَعَ مِنَ اَلْقَتْلِ".
