"عَنْ عطاء بن أَبى رباح أن رجلًا كسر فَخِذَ رجلٍ فخاصمه إلى عمرَ ابنِ الخطاب فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين، أَقِدْنى. قال: ليس لك القَوَدُ، إنما لك العقلُ، قال الرجل: فاسمعنى كالأرقم إن يُقْتَلْ ينْقَم وإن يترك يلقم، قال: فأنت كالأرقم".

On the authority of 'Ata' ibn Abi Rabah: A man broke the thigh of another man, so the victim brought the case before 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. He said, "O Commander of the Faithful, let me retaliate against him." 'Umar said, "You have no right to retaliation; you only have the blood-money." The man said, "Then listen to me. I am like the viper: if he is killed, it will avenge; if he is left, it will bite." 'Umar said, "Then you are like the viper."
