[Machine] "That I would reconsider it and write to him, 'Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz sent greetings to you. As for what follows, by the One in whose hand is my soul, if you had killed him, I would have killed you with him, and if you had cut him, I would have cut you with him, and if you had beaten him, I would have beaten him more severely than you. So when this letter of mine reaches you, take it to the common people and curse the one who cursed me or forgive him, for that is dearer to me. For it is not permissible to kill a Muslim because of the curse of someone else, except in the case of someone who curses the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , for whoever curses the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , his blood is permissible (to be shed)."
