"عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مِن أَهْلِ الْحِيرَةِ، فَكَتَبَ فِيهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَنْ يُدْفَعَ إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَقْتُولِ، فَإِنْ شَاءُوا قَتَلُوهُ وَإنْ شَاءُوا عفَوْا عَنْهُ، فَدُفِعَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى وَلِىِّ الْمَقْتُولِ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ: إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَم يُقْتَلْ فَلاَ تَقْتُلُوهُ".

"From Ibrahim: that a man from Bakr ibn Wa'il killed a man from the people of al-Hirah. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote concerning him that he be handed over to the heirs of the victim; if they wish, they may kill him, and if they wish, they may pardon him. The man was handed over to the victim's guardian, who killed him. Then 'Umar wrote afterward: If the man was not killed, then do not kill him."

Notes
الشافعى، [ق] البيهقى في السنن وقال: قال الشافعى: الذى رجع إليه أولى، ولعله أراد أن يُخِيفهُ بالقتل ولا يقتله، قال: وجميع ما روى في ذلك عن عمر منقطع، أو ضعيف، أو يجمع الانقطاع والضعف جميعا
