Hadith 18:1273

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Abu Usama narrated to us, from Awf, from Hamza ibn Umar, from Alqama ibn Wa’il, from his father, who said: I witnessed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when the killer was brought, being dragged by his leather strap. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to the guardian of the slain person: "Will you pardon him?" He said: "No." He said: "Will you take the blood money?" He said: "No." He said: "Will you kill him?" He said: "Yes." He repeated it to him three times. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him: "If you pardon him, he will bear his sin." He said: "So he pardoned him." He said: "And I saw him being dragged by his leather strap, having been pardoned."

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا أبو أسامة عن عوف عن حمزة بن عمر عن علقمة بن وائل عن أبيه قال شهدت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين أتي بالقاتل يجر في نسعته فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لولي المقتول أتعفو عنه قال لا قال أفتأخذ الدية قال لا قال فتقتله قال نعم فأعاد عليه ثلاثا فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إن عفوت عنه فإنه يبوء بإثمه قال فعفى فرأيته يجر نسعته قد عفى عنه
