أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ الْحَوْضِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَامِعُ بْنُ مَطَرٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فِي عُنُقِهِ نِسْعَةٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَخِي كَانَا فِي جُبٍّ يَحْفِرَانِهَا فَرَفَعَ الْمِنْقَارَ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ رَأْسَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اعْفُ عَنْهُ» فَأَبَى وَقَامَ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَخِي كَانَا فِي جُبٍّ يَحْفِرَانِهَا فَرَفَعَ الْمِنْقَارَ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ رَأْسَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اعْفُ عَنْهُ» فَأَبَى ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَخِي كَانَا فِي جُبٍّ يَحْفِرَانِهَا فَرَفَعَ الْمِنْقَارَ أُرَاهُ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ رَأْسَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَقَالَ «اعْفُ عَنْهُ» فَأَبَى فَقَالَ «اذْهَبْ إِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ كُنْتَ مِثْلَهُ» فَخَرَجَ بِهِ حَتَّى جَاوَزَ فَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَمَا تَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَرَجَعَ فَقَالَ إِنْ قَتَلْتُهُ كُنْتُ مِثْلَهُ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ اعْفُ عَنْهُ» فَخَرَجَ يَجُرُّ نِسْعَتَهُ حَتَّى خَفِيَ عَلَيْنَا

✧ I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man came with a rope around his neck and said, “O Messenger of Allah, this man and my brother were digging a well, and he raised the pickaxe and struck his companion’s head with it, killing him.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Pardon him.” He refused and stood up. He said, “O Prophet of Allah, this man and my brother were digging a well, and he raised the pickaxe and struck his companion’s head with it, killing him.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Pardon him.” He refused. Then he stood up and said, “O Messenger of Allah, this man and my brother were digging a well, and he raised the pickaxe—I think he said—and struck his companion’s head with it, killing him.” He said, “Pardon him.” He refused. Then he said, “Go, for if you kill him, you will be like him.” So he went out with him until they had passed. Then we called out to him, “Do you not hear what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says?” He returned and said, “If I kill him, I will be like him?” He said, “Yes. Pardon him.” He then went out dragging his rope until he disappeared from us.
