أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ أَبِي عُمَرَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أُتِيَ بِالرَّجُلِ الْقَاتِلِ يُقَادُ فِي نِسْعَةٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِوَلِيِّ الْمَقْتُولِ : " أَتَعْفُو؟ ".
قَالَ : لَا.
قَالَ : " فَتَأْخُذُ الدِّيَةَ؟ ".
قَالَ : لَا.
قَالَ : " فَتَقْتُلُهُ؟ ".
قَالَ : نَعَمْ.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :" إِنَّكَ إِنْ عَفَوْتَ عَنْهُ، فَإِنَّهُ يَبُوءُ بِإِثْمِكَ وَإِثْمِ صَاحِبِكَ ".
قَالَ : فَتَرَكَهُ، قَالَ : فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَجُرُّ نِسْعَتَهُ، قَدْ عَفَا عَنْهُ

Ahmad bin Abdullah Al-Hamdani told us, Abu Usama told us, on the authority of Awf, on the authority of Hamza Abi Omar, on the authority of Alqamah bin Wa’il. Al-Hadrami, on the authority of his father Wael bin Hajar, said: I witnessed the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, when the murderous man was brought and led in Nasa’ah, and the Messenger of God said God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to the guardian of the murdered person: “Will you pardon me?”
He said: No.
He said: “So you take the blood money?”
He said: No.
He said: “So you kill him?”
He said: Yes.
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “If you pardon him, he will bear your sin and the sin of your companion.”
He said: So he left him, he said: I saw him dragging his horse, and he pardoned him.
