a man struck another man on the wrist with his sword and severed it, not at the joint. He appealed to the Prophet ﷺ who ordered that the Diyah be paid. The man said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I want retaliation.” He said: “Take the compensation and may Allah bless you therein.” And he did not rule that he be allowed retaliation. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2636)
ضَرَبَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا بِالسَّيْفِ عَلَى سَاعِدِهِ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَفْصِلٍ فَاسْتَعْدَى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَضَى لَهُ بِالدِّيَةِ وَأَرَادَ الْمَضْرُوبُ الْقِصَاصَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ فِيهَا» وَلَمْ يَقْضِ لَهُ بِالْقِصَاصِ
