“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
