حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، أَنْبَأَنَا حَبَّانُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ ، قَالَ : لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " مَا رُفِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْءٌ فِيهِ الْقِصَاصُ إِلَّا أَمَرَ فِيهِ بِالْعَفْوِ " .
´It was narrated that 'Ata bin Abu Maimunah said:` “I only know it from Anas bin Malik who said: 'No case involving retaliation was referred to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) but he enjoined forgiveness.”

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
It is understood that forgiving is superior, provided that the other party seeks forgiveness with humility. If he is in pride and arrogance, or seeks forgiveness by force, then retribution (qisas) and retaliation are superior. Furthermore, after forgiveness, blood money (diyah) must necessarily be given so that the sanctity of life is maintained.

Benefits and Issues:
A judge (qadi) or ruler (hakim) can encourage the parties involved to pardon the matter, but they themselves do not possess any right to pardon on their own accord.
If they do pardon, it is a great injustice, as is the common practice of our governments.
