أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ , وَبَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ , وَعَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ , قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " مَا أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شَيْءٍ فِيهِ قِصَاصٌ إِلَّا أَمَرَ فِيهِ بِالْعَفْوِ " .
´It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:` "No case requiring Qisas was ever brought to the Messenger of Allah but he would enjoin pardoning."

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
It is understood that forgiving is superior, provided that the other party seeks forgiveness with humility. If he is in pride and arrogance, or seeks forgiveness by force, then retribution (qisas) and retaliation are superior. Furthermore, after forgiveness, blood money (diyah) must necessarily be given so that the sanctity of life is maintained.

Benefits and Issues:
A judge (qadi) or ruler (hakim) can encourage the parties involved to pardon the matter, but they themselves do not possess any right to pardon on their own accord.
If they do pardon, it is a great injustice, as is the common practice of our governments.
