bayhaqi:16053Abū al-Qāsim ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿUmar al-Fāmī al-Faqīh> Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. Salmān al-Najjād > Ismāʿīl b. Isḥāq > ʿAlī > Ibn al-Madīnī > Yaḥyá > Ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān > Jāmiʿ b. Maṭar > ʿAlqamah b. Wāʾil from his father > Baynā

When he approached him, he said, 'My brother and I were in a pit digging it, and he lifted his beak and struck my brother's head, killing him.' He said, 'Forgive him,' but he refused. He said, 'Take the blood money,' but he said, 'I don't want the blood money.' He repeated the same conversation, and each time he said, 'Forgive him,' but he refused. He said, 'Take the blood money,' but he refused. When he refused, except for wanting to kill him, he said, 'If you kill him, you will be like him.' He said, 'What should I do?' He said, 'Forgive him.' So I saw him dragging his disheveled hair until it disappeared from our sight."
