عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ وَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَتِيلًا بَيْنَ قَرْيَتَيْنِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذُرِعَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ وَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى شِبْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَلْقَاهُ عَلَى أَقْرَبِهِمَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, found a murdered person between two settlements. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered the distance between the two settlements to be measured. It is as if I can still see the handspan of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Then he held the nearer settlement responsible for the murder.
