Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29845 — A man afflicted by a maiming wound
٢٩٨٤٥ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا أبو أسامة عن عوف عن حمزة (أبي) (١) عمر عن علقمة بن وائل عن أبيه قال: شهدت رسول اللَّه ﷺ حين (أتي) (٢) بالقاتل يجر في نسعته، فقال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: لولي المقتول: "أتعفو عنه؟ "، قال: لا، قال: "أفتأخذ الدية؟ "، قال: لا، قال: "فتقتله؟ "، قال: نعم، فأعاد عليه ثلاثًا فقال له رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "إن عفوت عنه فإنه يبوء بإثمه"، قال: فعفى، فرأيته يجر نسعته قد عفى عنه (٣).
Sayyiduna Wa'il (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when the killer was brought, dragged along in his leather straps. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the guardian of the slain person: "Will you forgive him?" He said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Will you take the blood money?" He said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Will you kill him?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this to him three times. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "If you forgive him, he will go about carrying the burden of his sin." The narrator said: So this man forgave, and I saw that killer dragging a piece of his leather strap, for he had been forgiven.
