Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29844 — A man afflicted by a maiming wound

Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh al-Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is afflicted by bloodshed or is wounded has a choice among one of three things. If he wants a fourth, then seize his hands. These things are: that he kills, or forgives, or takes the blood money. Whoever does any of this and then returns, for him is the fire of Hell, in which he will remain forever and ever."
