Hadith 1680
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يُونُسَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، أَنَّ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ حَدَّثَهُ : أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَقَاعِدٌ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَقُودُ آخَرَ بِنِسْعَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا قَتَلَ أَخِي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَقَتَلْتَهُ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ لَوْ لَمْ يَعْتَرِفْ أَقَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيِّنَةَ ؟ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ قَتَلْتَهُ ، قَالَ : كَيْفَ قَتَلْتَهُ ؟ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ نَخْتَبِطُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ ، فَسَبَّنِي ، فَأَغْضَبَنِي ، فَضَرَبْتُهُ بِالْفَأْسِ عَلَى قَرْنِهِ فَقَتَلْتُهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ تُؤَدِّيهِ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ ؟ ، قَالَ : مَا لِي مَالٌ إِلَّا كِسَائِي وَفَأْسِي ، قَالَ : فَتَرَى قَوْمَكَ يَشْتَرُونَكَ ؟ ، قَالَ : أَنَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى قَوْمِي مِنْ ذَاكَ ، فَرَمَى إِلَيْهِ بِنِسْعَتِهِ ، وَقَالَ : دُونَكَ صَاحِبَكَ ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنْ قَتَلَهُ فَهُوَ مِثْلُهُ ، فَرَجَعَ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ إِنْ قَتَلَهُ فَهُوَ مِثْلُهُ ، وَأَخَذْتُهُ بِأَمْرِكَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَمَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ يَبُوءَ بِإِثْمِكَ وَإِثْمِ صَاحِبِكَ ؟ ، قَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، لَعَلَّهُ ، قَالَ : بَلَى ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّ ذَاكَ كَذَاكَ " ، قَالَ : فَرَمَى بِنِسْعَتِهِ وَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ .
'Alqama bin Wa'il reported on the authority of his-father: While I was sitting in the company of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) , a person came there dragging another one with the help of a strap and said: Allah's Messenger, this man has killed my brother. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: Did you kill him? And the other man said: (In case he did not make a confession of this, I shall bring a witness against him). He (the murderer) said: Yes, I have killed him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Why did you kill him? He said: I and he were striking down the leaves of a tree and he abused me and enraged me, and to I struck his head with an axe and killed him, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Have you anything with you to pay blood-wit on your behalf? He said: I do not possess any property but this robe of mine and this axe of mine. He (the Holy, Prophet) said: Do you think your people will pay ransom for you? He said: I am more insignificant among my people than this (that I would not be able to get this benefit from my tribe). He (the Holy Prophet) threw the strap towards him (the claimant of the blood-wit) saying: Take away your man. The man took him away, and as he returned, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: If he kills him, he will be like him. He returned and said: Allah's Messenger, it has reached me that you have said that "If he killed him, he would be like him." I caught hold of him according to your command, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Don't you like that he should take upon him (the burden) of your sin and the sin of your companion (your brother)? He said: Allah's Apostle, why not? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If it is so, then let it be. He threw away the strap (around the offender) and set him free.
Hadith 1680
وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَجُلٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا ، فَأَقَادَ وَلِيَّ الْمَقْتُولِ مِنْهُ ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ ، وَفِي عُنُقِهِ نِسْعَةٌ يَجُرُّهَا ، فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : الْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ " ، فَأَتَى رَجُلٌ الرَّجُلَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : مَقَالَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَخَلَّى عَنْهُ ، قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ : فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِحَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، فَقَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَشْوَعَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُ فَأَبَى .
'Alaqama bin Wa'il reported on the authority of his father that a person was brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who had killed another person, and the heir of the person slain had dragged him (to the Holy Prophet) with a strap around his neck. As he turned away Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The killer and the killed are (doomed) to fire. A person came to the other person (the heir of the deceased) and he reported to him the words of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , and so he let him off. Isma'il bin Salim said: I made a mention of it to Habib bin Abu Thabit and he said: Ibn Ashwa' reported to me that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had asked him to pardon him, but he refused.
