أَخْبَرَنَا
عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ الْحَوْضِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
جَامِعُ بْنُ مَطَرٍ ، عَنْ
عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فِي عُنُقِهِ نِسْعَةٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَخِي كَانَا فِي جُبٍّ يَحْفِرَانِهَا , فَرَفَعَ الْمِنْقَارَ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ رَأْسَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اعْفُ عَنْهُ " ، فَأَبَى وَقَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ , إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَخِي كَانَا فِي جُبٍّ يَحْفِرَانِهَا فَرَفَعَ الْمِنْقَارَ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ رَأْسَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " اعْفُ عَنْهُ " ، فَأَبَى ، ثُمَّ قَامَ , فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَخِي كَانَا فِي جُبٍّ يَحْفِرَانِهَا فَرَفَعَ الْمِنْقَارَ أُرَاهُ ، قَالَ : فَضَرَبَ رَأْسَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " اعْفُ عَنْهُ " ، فَأَبَى ، قَالَ : " اذْهَبْ , إِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ كُنْتَ مِثْلَهُ " ، فَخَرَجَ بِهِ حَتَّى جَاوَزَ ، فَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَمَا تَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَرَجَعَ ، فَقَالَ : إِنْ قَتَلْتُهُ كُنْتُ مِثْلَهُ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، أَعْفُ , فَخَرَجَ يَجُرُّ نِسْعَةٌ حَتَّى خَفِيَ عَلَيْنَا .
´It was narrated from 'Alqamah bin Wa'il that his father said:` "I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah when a man came with a string around his neck and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this man and my brother were digging a hole, and he raised his pickax and struck his companion in the head, Killing him. 'The Prophet said: 'Forgive him,' but he refused and said: 'O Prophet of Allah, this man and my brother were digging a whole, and he raised his pickax and struck his companion in the head, killing him.' The Prophet said: 'Forgive him,' but he refused, then he stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this man and my brother were digging a hole, and he raised his pickax and struck his companion in the head, killing him.' The Prophet said: 'Forgive him,' but he refused. He (the prophet) said: 'Go, but if you kill him, you will be like him. So he took him out, and they called out to him: Didn't you hear what the Messenger of Allah said?' So he came back and he said: 'If I kill him will I be like him?' He said: 'Yes. Forgive him.' Then he went out, dragging his string, until he disappeared from our view."
