Hadith 18:1115
Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Waki’ narrated to us, he said: al-Mas’udi narrated to us, from al-Qasim, who said: Two men from the people of Kufa set out to Umar ibn al-Khattab and found that he had departed from the House (the Kaaba). They said: "O Commander of the Faithful, a cousin of ours has been killed, and we are equal in the blood (right to retaliation) regarding him." He remained silent toward them. Then he said: "Bring two just witnesses against the one who killed him, and we will grant you retaliation against him."
حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا وكيع قال حدثنا المسعودي عن القاسم قال انطلق رجلان من أهل الكوفة إلى عمر بن الخطاب فوجداه قد صدر عن البيت فقالا يا أمير المؤمنين إن بن عم لنا قتل ونحن إليه شرع سواء في الدم وهو ساكت عنهما قال شاهدان ذوا عدل تجيئان بهما على من قتله فنقيدكم منه
