"عَن الشَّعْبِىِّ قَالَ: كتَبَ عُمَرُ بن الْخَطَّابِ في رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الحِيرَةِ نَصْرَانِى قَتَلَهُ مُسْلِمٌ: أَنْ يُقَادَ صَاحِبُهُ، فَجَعَلُوا يَقُولُونَ للنَّصْرانِىِّ: اقْتُله؟ قَالَ: لَا حَتَّى يَأتِيَنِى الغَضَبُ، فَبيْنمَا هُوَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ جاء كِتَابُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ: لَا تُقِدْهُ مِنْهُ".

"From al-Sha'bi who said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote concerning a man from the people of al-Hirah, a Christian, who had been killed by a Muslim: that his killer be subjected to retaliation. They began saying to the Christian: Kill him? He said: No, until anger comes to me. While he was in that state, the letter of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came: Do not retaliate against him for it."
