a Jew crushed the head of a woman between two rocks and killed her, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ crushed his head between two rocks.
أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا رَضَخَ رَأْسَ امْرَأَةٍ بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْنِ فَقَتَلَهَا فَرَضَخَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْنِ
a Jew killed a girl for her jewelry. He asked her (as she was dying): “Did so-and-so kill you?” and she gestured with her head to say no. Then he asked her again, and she gestured with her head to say no. he asked her a third time and she gestured with her head to say yes. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ killed him (by crushing his head) between two rocks.
أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا قَتَلَ جَارِيَةً عَلَى أَوْضَاحٍ لَهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا أَقَتَلَكِ فُلاَنٌ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ لاَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهَا الثَّانِيَةَ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ لاَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ نَعَمْ فَقَتَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْنِ

٢١۔٢٦ باب لاَ يَجْنِي أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying during the Farewell pilgrimage: “No criminal commits a crime but he brings. (the punishment for that) upon himself. No father can bring punishment upon his son by his crime, and no son can bring punishment upon his father.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي حِجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ أَلاَ لاَ يَجْنِي جَانٍ إِلاَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ لاَ يَجْنِي وَالِدٌ عَلَى وَلَدِهِ وَلاَ مَوْلُودٌ عَلَى وَالِدِهِ
“I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands until I saw the whiteness of his armpits, saying: 'No child should be punished because of his mother's crime, no child should be punished because of his mother's crime.”

“I came to the Prophet ﷺ and my son was with me. He said: 'You will not be punished because of his crime and he will not be punished because of yours.'”
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَعِي ابْنِي فَقَالَ لاَ تَجْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ يَجْنِي عَلَيْكَ

21.28 Oaths
٢١۔٢٨ باب الْقَسَامَةِ
'Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayyishah set out for Khaibar because of some problem that had arisen. Someone came to Muhayyishah, and he told him that Abdullah bin Sahl had been killed and thrown into a pit or well in Khaibar. He came to the Jews and said: “By Allah, you killed him.” They said: “By Allah, we did not kill him.” Then he went back to his people and told them about that. Then he and his brother Huwayyisah, who was older than him, and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, came (to the Prophet ﷺ). Muhayyisah, who was the one who had been at Khaibar, went and he began to speak, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Let the elder speak first.” So Huwayyisah spoke, then Muhayyisah spoke. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Either (the Jews) will pay the blood money for your companion, or war will be declared on them.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a letter to that effect (to the Jews) and they wrote back saying: “By Allah, we did not kill him.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Huwayyisah, Muhayyisah and Abdur-Rahman: “Will you swear an oath establishing your claim to the blood money of your companion?” They said: “No” He said: “Should the Jews swear an oath for you?” They said: “They are not Muslims.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid the blood money himself, and he sent one hundred she-camels to them and some of them entered the house. Sahl said: “A red she-camels from among them kicked me.”
رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِمُحَيِّصَةَ كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ يُرِيدُ السِّنَّ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذِنُوا بِحَرْبٍ فَكَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبُوا إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ تَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالُوا لاَ قَالَ فَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ قَالُوا لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الدَّارَ فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ فَلَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ
Huwayyisah and Muhayyisah , the sons of Mas'ud, and 'Abdullah and 'Abdur-Rahman the sons of Sahl, went out to search for food in Khaibar. 'Abdullah was attacked and killed, and mention of that was made to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: “Will you swear an oath and establish your right to blood money?” They said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, how can we swear an oath when we did not witness anything?” He said: “Do you want the Jews to swear that they are innocent?” They said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then they will kill us too.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid the blood money himself.
أَنَّ حُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ ابْنَىْ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنَىْ سَهْلٍ خَرَجُوا يَمْتَارُونَ بِخَيْبَرَ فَعُدِيَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقُتِلَ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ تُقْسِمُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ نُقْسِمُ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ قَالَ فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا تَقْتُلُنَا قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ

What if my master enslaves me again?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Your protection will be (incumbent upon) every believer or Muslim.'”
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ صَارِخًا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا لَكَ قَالَ سَيِّدِي رَآنِي أُقَبِّلُ جَارِيَةً لَهُ فَجَبَّ مَذَاكِيرِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَىَّ بِالرَّجُلِ فَطُلِبَ فَلَمْ يُقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ قَالَ عَلَى مَنْ نُصْرَتِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ يَقُولُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنِ اسْتَرَقَّنِي مَوْلاَىَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ مُسْلِمٍ

٢١۔٣٣ باب مَنْ أَمِنَ رَجُلاً عَلَى دَمِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ
“Were it not for a word that I heard from 'Amr bin Hamiq Khuza'i, I would have separated the head of Al-Mukhtar from his body. I heard him saying: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If a man trusts someone with his life then he kills him, he will carry a banner of treachery on the day of Resurrection.'”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَمِنَ رَجُلاً عَلَى دَمِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ لِوَاءَ غَدْرٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
“I entered upon Mukhtar in his palace and he said: 'Jibril has just left me.' Nothing stopped me from striking his neck (i.e, killing him) but a Hadith that I heard from Sulaiman bin Surad, according to which the Prophet ﷺ said: 'If a man trusts you with his life, then do not kill him.' That is what stopped me.”
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا أَمِنَكَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَمِهِ فَلاَ تَقْتُلْهُ فَذَاكَ الَّذِي مَنَعَنِي مِنْهُ
21.34 Pardoning A Killer
٢١۔٣٤ باب الْعَفْوِ عَنِ الْقَاتِلِ
“A man killed (another) during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and was referred to the Prophet ﷺ. He handed him over to the victim's next of kin, but the killer said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, by Allah I did not mean to kill him.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the next of kin, 'If he is telling the truth and you kill him, you will go to Hell.' So he let him go. He had been tied with a rope, and he went out dragging his rope, so he became known as Dhan-Nis'ah (the one with the rope).
قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى وَلِيِّ الْمَقْتُولِ فَقَالَ الْقَاتِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ قَتْلَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِلْوَلِيِّ أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ صَادِقًا ثُمَّ قَتَلْتَهُ دَخَلْتَ النَّارَ قَالَ فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ مَكْتُوفًا بِنِسْعَةٍ فَخَرَجَ يَجُرُّ نِسْعَتَهُ فَسُمِّيَ ذَا النِّسْعَةِ
“A man brought the killer of his relative to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Pardon him,' but the refused. He said: 'Take the blood money,' but he refused. He said: 'Go and kill him, but then you will be like him.’ Someone caught up with him and reminded him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said: 'Go and kill him, but then you will be like him.’ So he let him go. He said: So he was seen dragging his strap going to his family. He said: It seemed that he had tied him up. It's narrated that AbdurRahman bin AlQasim said "Then it is not (permissible) for anyone after the Prophet ﷺ to say 'Go and kill him, but then you will be like him.' "
أَتَى رَجُلٌ بِقَاتِلِ وَلِيِّهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اعْفُ فَأَبَى فَقَالَ خُذْ أَرْشَكَ فَأَبَى قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّكَ مِثْلُهُ قَالَ فَلُحِقَ بِهِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ قَالَ اقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّكَ مِثْلُهُ فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ قَالَ فَرُئِيَ يَجُرُّ نِسْعَتَهُ ذَاهِبًا إِلَى أَهْلِهِ قَالَ كَأَنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ أَوْثَقَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ شَوْذَبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ فَلَيْسَ لأَحَدٍ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنْ يَقُولَ اقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّكَ مِثْلُهُ قَالَ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ هَذَا حَدِيثُ الرَّمْلِيِّينَ لَيْسَ إِلاَّ عِنْدَهُمْ
21.35 Pardoning In Cases of Retaliation
٢١۔٣٥ باب الْعَفْوِ فِي الْقِصَاصِ
“I only know it from Anas bin Malik who said: 'No case involving retaliation was referred to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ but he enjoined forgiveness.”
مَا رُفِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَىْءٌ فِيهِ الْقِصَاصُ إِلاَّ أَمَرَ فِيهِ بِالْعَفْوِ
“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'There is no man who suffers some (injury) on his body and forgives (the perpetrator), but Allah (SWT) will raise him one degree in status thereby, or erase from him one sin.'My own ears heard it and my heart memorized it.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُصَابُ بِشَىْءٍ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ فَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ إِلاَّ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً أَوْ حَطَّ عَنْهُ بِهِ خَطِيئَةً سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَاىَ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي

٢١۔٣٦ باب الْحَامِلِ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهَا الْقَوَدُ
“If a woman kills someone deliberately, she should not be killed until she delivers what is in her womb, if she is pregnant, and until the child's sponsorship is guaranteed. And if a woman commits illegal sex, she should not be stoned until she delivers what is in her womb and until her child's sponsorship is guaranteed.”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْمَرْأَةُ إِذَا قَتَلَتْ عَمْدًا لاَ تُقْتَلُ حَتَّى تَضَعَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا إِنْ كَانَتْ حَامِلاً وَحَتَّى تُكَفِّلَ وَلَدَهَا وَإِنْ زَنَتْ لَمْ تُرْجَمْ حَتَّى تَضَعَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا وَحَتَّى تُكَفِّلَ وَلَدَهَا
