حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ضُمَيْرَةَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَعَمِّي وَكَانَا شَهِدَا حُنَيْنًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَا : صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ وَهُوَ سَيِّدُ خِنْدِفٍ يَرُدُّ عَنْ دَمِ مُحَلِّمِ بْنِ جَثَّامَةَ وَقَامَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ يَطْلُبُ بِدَمِ عَامِرِ بْنِ الْأَضْبَطِ وَكَانَ أَشْجَعِيًّا ، فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَقْبَلُونَ الدِّيَةَ " ، فَأَبَوْا ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : مُكَيْتِلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَاللَّهِ مَا شَبَّهْتُ هَذَا الْقَتِيلَ فِي غُرَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا كَغَنَمٍ وَرَدَتْ ، فَرُمِيَتْ أَوَّلُهَا فَنَفَرَ آخِرُهَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَكُمْ خَمْسُونَ فِي سَفَرِنَا ، وَخَمْسُونَ إِذَا رَجَعْنَا " فَقَبِلُوا الدِّيَةَ .
´It was narrated that Ziyad bin Sa'd bin Dumairah (said):` “My father and my paternal uncle, who were present at Hunain with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) narrated to me: 'The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed Zuhr, then he sat beneath a tree. Aqra' bin Habis, who was the chief of Khindaf, came to him arguing in defense of Muhallim bin Jaththamah. Uyainah bin Hisn came to him demanding vengeance for 'Amir bin Adbat who was from the tribe of Ashja. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to them: “Will you accept the blood money?'” But they refused. Then a man from Banu Laith, whose name was Mukaital, stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! By Allah (SWT)! This man who was killed in the early days of Islam is like Sheep that come to drink but stones are thrown at them, so the last of them runs away (i.e. ,the murderer should be killed).' The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'You will have fifty (camels) while we are traveling and fifty (camels) when we return.' So they accepted the blood money.”
Brief Explanation
1؎: Muhallim bin Jathamah killed Amir bin Adbat from the tribe of Ashja‘, so Aqra‘ radi Allahu anhu used to say that retribution (qisas) should not be taken from Muhallim, while ‘Uyaynah radi Allahu anhu insisted on retribution.
2؎: The purpose of this analogy is that if (assuming the authenticity of the hadith) the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had not settled this case, then a much greater discord would have arisen; Muslims would have started fighting among themselves. Thus, the arrangement was such that it was like a flock of goats going to drink water, but the goats at the front were struck and driven away, so the goats at the back also ran off. If they had not been struck, then all would have come forward. Similarly, if the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had not settled this case, then others would also have become involved in it, and a great discord would have ensued.
