A man who is killed and some of his heirs pardon

Al-A'mash said that Zayd bin Wahb said: A man saw another man with his wife, so he killed his wife. The man was brought before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). One of the woman's brothers gave his share of the blood money to the man as a gift, so Sayyiduna Umar ordered all the rest of them to take the blood money.

Abu Ma'shar said that Ibrahim said: A man intentionally killed someone, and some of the guardians of the slain person pardoned the killer. The matter was then brought before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): Say something about this. Sayyiduna Abdullah said: O Commander of the Believers, you are more entitled to speak. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah said: When some of the guardians have pardoned the killer, there is no retaliation (qisas); the share of those who pardoned will be removed from the killer's liability, and they will receive the rest of the blood money. At this Sayyiduna Umar said: This is the sound opinion, and you have agreed with what was in my heart.

Isa said that Imam al-Sha'bi said: When some of the heirs have pardoned, that pardon will be followed.

Qatadah said that Umar bin Abd al-Aziz said: Whoever pardons will receive no share.

Ibn Tawus said that his father Tawus said: When some of the guardians have pardoned the blood, blood money becomes due.

Ash'ath said that Imam al-Zuhri said: The one who pardons has the greater right over the blood.
