Sayyiduna Jariyah bin Zafar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A man struck another man with a sword on his forearm, at a place other than a joint. The injured man appealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who ruled for him to receive blood money (diyah), but the injured man wanted retaliation (qisas). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah bless it for you," and he did not grant him retaliation.
