[Machine] When Mecca was conquered, Huthayl killed a man from the tribe of Layth in retaliation for a killing that occurred during the pre-Islamic period. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of this, and he mentioned the incident with a similar statement, except that he said, "And whoever is killed as a result, he is considered to have better vision, either to be captured or to be avenged." Abu Amr Al-Adib reported to us that Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili narrated to us that Abu Ya'la narrated to us that Harun ibn Ma'roof narrated to us that Al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us from Al-Awza'i, and he mentioned it with a similar statement, except that he said, "Either to be ransomed or to be killed." This hadith has been recorded in Sahih from the narration of Al-Walid ibn Muslim.
