Hadith 18:1107

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Waki’ narrated to us, he said: al-Mas’udi narrated to us, from al-Qasim, who said: Umar said: "Indeed, the Qasamah (oath-taking procedure in homicide cases) only necessitates the blood money (diya), and it does not shed blood (i.e., it does not lead to the execution of the accused)."

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا وكيع قال حدثنا المسعودي عن القاسم قال قال عمر إن القسامة إنما توجب العقل ولا تشيط الدم
