[12].Surah Yusuf [Joseph] : Ayat 9-10




Ayat 9. "Kill Yusuf (Joseph) or cast him out to some (other) land, so that the favour of your father may be given to you alone, and after that you will be righteous folk (by intending repentance before committing the sin)."
Ayat 10. One from among them said: "Kill not Yusuf (Joseph), but if you must do something, throw him down to the bottom of a well, he will be picked up by some caravan of travelers."       


Hazrat Ibn Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "The first matter concerning which people will be judged on the Day of Resurrection will be the matter of blood (unjust murder).''
[Al-Bukhari Volume 08, Book 76, Hadith # 540]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Yusuf Ayat 9. "Kill Yusuf (Joseph) or cast him out to some (other) land," In another Hadith, it has been stated that on the Day of Judgment, the first thing about which people will be questioned will be As-Salat (the five daily prayers). There is no contradiction in the two narrations. Among the duties of Allah, the first thing to be reckoned would be As-Salat; while among the mutual right of humans, the first thing to be decided would be murder. From this narration the value of human life becomes very significant.
