حَمْزَةُ أَبُو عُمَرَ الْعَائِذِيُّ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ
[Machine] I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man was brought in shackles. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the guardian of the deceased, "Do you forgive him?" He replied, "No." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then take the blood money." He replied, "No." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then you may kill him." He said, "Yes." So he took him away with him. He said, "Come, do you forgive?" repeating the same words as before. The guardian of the deceased repeated the same words three times. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said at the fourth time, "Indeed, if you forgive, then it will be as if it was your own sin and the sin of your companion." So he left him. I saw him dragging his shackles.
شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ جِيءَ بِالرَّجُلِ فِي نِسْعَةٍ يُقَادُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِوَلِيِّ الْمَقْتُولِ «أَتَعْفُو عَنْهُ؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَتَأْخُذُ الدِّيَةَ» قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَتَقْتُلُهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ بِهِ فَتَوَلَّى مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ تَعَالَ أَتَعْفُو؟ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ الْأَوَّلِ فَقَالَ وَلِيُّ الْمَقْتُولِ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ الرَّابِعَةِ «أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ عَفَوْتَ فَإِنَّهُ يَبُوءُ بِإِثْمِكَ وَإِثْمَ صَاحِبِكَ» فَتَرَكَهُ قَالَ فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَجُرُّ نِسْعَتَهُ
