Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Sulaiman bin Yasar narrates that a woman from Syria came to Hazrat Dahhak bin Qais and began to mention before him that a man had made her open her door. The woman called for help, but no one came to her aid, and it was during the winter days. So she opened the door for him and, lifting a millstone, struck him with it, causing the man to die. Then Hazrat Dahhak sent someone with the woman, and it turned out that the man was a thief from among the thieves and he had stolen goods with him. Thus, Hazrat Dahhak declared his blood to be void (i.e., not subject to retaliation).
