وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ ظِبْيَانَ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ:
هَشَّمَ رَجُلٌ فَمَ رَجُلٍ فِي زَمَنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ الدِّيَةَ، فَأَبَاهَا، فَزَادُوهُ حَتَّى أَعْطَوْهُ ثَلَاثَ دِيَاتٍ، قَالَ: فَحَدَّثَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِدَمٍ أَوْ بِمَا دُونَهُ كَانَ كَفَّارَةً لِمَا مَضَى مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ مِنْ يَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ " قَالَ: فَعَفَا الرَّجُلُ

✧ A man smashed the mouth of another man during the time of Mu'awiyah ؓ, and he offered him the blood money, but he refused. They increased it until they gave him three blood monies. He said: Then a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever gives charity of blood or of what is less than that, it will be an expiation for his past sins, from the day his mother gave birth to him until the day he gives charity of it.' He said: So the man pardoned.
