Bayhaqi 15886 — Retaliation is due on the killer and no one else

قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {وَمَنْ قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطَانًا فَلَا يُسْرِفُ فِي الْقَتْلِ} [الإسراء: 33].
Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: "And whoever is killed unjustly, We have certainly given his heir authority (to seek retaliation), so let him not exceed limits in killing (in retaliation)." [Surah al-Isra': 33]
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو ⦗٤٧⦘ الْعَبَّاسِ هُوَ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ: " يَقْتُلُ اثْنَيْنِ بِوَاحِدٍ ".
Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Excess in killing means that two are killed in place of one.
