وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ
أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ قَتَادَةُ حَذَفَ ابْنَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فَأَصَابَ سَاقَهُ فَنُزِيَ فِي جُرْحِهِ فَمَاتَ فَقَدِمَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ جُعْشُمٍ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ اعْدُدْ عَلَى مَاءِ قُدَيْدٍ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةَ بَعِيرٍ حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ عَلَيْكَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَخَذَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الإِبِلِ ثَلاَثِينَ حِقَّةً وَثَلاَثِينَ جَذَعَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ خَلِفَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ قَالَ هَا أَنَا ذَا قَالَ خُذْهَا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ لِقَاتِلٍ شَىْءٌ

Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Amr ibn Shuayb that a man of the Banu Mudlij called Qatada threw a sword at his son and it struck his thigh. The wound bled profusely and he died. Suraqa ibn Jusham came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and mentioned that to him Umar said to him, "At the watering place of Qudayd count one hundred and twenty camels and wait until I come to you." When Umar ibn al-Khattab came to him, he took thirty four-year-old camels, thirty five-year-old camels, and forty pregnant camels from them. Then he said, "Where is the brother of the slain man?" He said, "Here." He said, "Take them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The killer gets nothing.' "

Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather, from ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ. Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd al-Anṣārī narrated it from ʿAmr b.

Mushir narrated it from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb, from his father, from ʿUmar. Mālik b. Anas, Ḥammād b. Salamah, Abū Khālid al-Aḥmar, Hushaym, Yazīd b. Hārūn and others narrated it from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb as a mursal report from ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ. Likewise ʿAbd al-Karīm Abū Umayyah narrated it from ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb, also as a mursal report from ʿUmar. The mursal version is more likely to be correct.
