أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَی وَلِيِّ الْمَقْتُولِ يَقْتُلُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِجُلَسَائِهِ الْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ فَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلٌ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَلَمَّا أَخْبَرَهُ تَرَکَهُ قَالَ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَجُرُّ نِسْعَتَهُ حِينَ تَرَکَهُ يَذْهَبُ فَذَکَرْتُ ذَلِکَ لِحَبِيبٍ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَشْوَعَ قَالَ وَذَکَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ الرَّجُلَ بِالْعَفْوِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4744
It was narrated from ‘Alqamah bin Wa’il that his father told them that a man who had killed another man was brought to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he handed him over to the heir of the victim to kill him. Then the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said to those who were sitting with him: “The killer and the slain will both be in Fire.” A man went after him and told him that, and when he told him that, he left him (let him go). He (the narrator) said: “I saw him dragging his string when he let him go. I mentioned that to -Iabib and he said: ‘Saeed bin Ashwa’ told me that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم commanded the man to forgive him.” (Sahih)
