أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عَوْفٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ أَبِي عُمَرَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ قَالَ

شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ حِينَ أُتِيَ بِالرَّجُلِ الْقَاتِلِ يُقَادُ فِي نِسْعَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِوَلِيِّ الْمَقْتُولِ «أَتَعْفُو» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَتَأْخُذُ الدِّيَةَ» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَتَقْتُلُهُ» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكَ إِنْ عَفَوْتَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَبُوءُ بِإِثْمِكَ وَإِثْمِ صَاحِبِكَ» قَالَ فَتَرَكَهُ قَالَ «فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَجُرُّ نِسْعَتَهُ قَدْ عَفَا عَنْهُ»

✧ I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ when the killer was brought to him, being led in a leather strap. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the guardian of the slain: 'Do you pardon?' He said: No. He said: 'Then will you take the blood money?' He said: No. He said: 'Then will you kill him?' He said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If you pardon him, he will bear your sin and the sin of your companion.' He said: So he left him. He said: Then I saw him dragging his leather strap, having pardoned him.
