حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَی مَالِکٍ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ رَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَی فَطَرَحَتْ جَنِينَهَا فَقَضَی فِيهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4389
Alaqama b. Wa'il reported on the authority of his father that a person was brought to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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 ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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 ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and so he let him off. Isma'il b. Salim said: I made a mention of it to Habib b. Abu Thabit and he said: Ibn Ashwa' reported to me that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had asked him to pardon him, but he refused.
