"عن القاسم بن عبد الرحمن قال: انطلق رجلانِ من أهل الكوفة إلى عمرَ بنِ الخطاب فقالا: يا أمير المؤمنين: إن ابن عم لنَا قُتِل نحن إليه شيوعٌ سواءٌ في الدمِ، وهو ساكت عنهما لا يرجع إليهما شيئًا حتى ناشداه اللَّه؛ فحمَل عليهما، ثم ذَكَرَاه اللَّه فكف عنهما، ثم قال عمر: ويلٌ لنا إذا لم نُذَكّر باللَّه، فيكم شاهدان ذوا عدل تَجيئان بهما على من قتل؟ فَنَقيدُكُم منه، وإلَّا حلف من يَدْرؤكُم باللَّه: ما قتلنا ولا علمنا قاتلا، فإن نَكَلُوا" حلف منكم خمسونَ ثم كانت لكم الدِّيةُ".

"Narrated from al-Qasim ibn 'Abd al-Rahman: Two men from the people of Kufa went to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and said: "O Commander of the Believers, a cousin of ours was killed, and we share in his blood equally." He was silent toward them and did not answer them until they appealed to him by Allah. Then he attacked them, and then they reminded him of Allah and he refrained from them. Then 'Umar said: "Woe to us if we are not reminded of Allah! Among you are two witnesses of just character whom you can bring against the killer, so that we may retaliate against him for you? Otherwise, let those who would absolve you swear by Allah: 'We did not kill, nor did we know of a killer.' If they refuse, then fifty of you shall swear, and then you shall have the blood-money."
