Hadith 18:1301

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Ibn Mubarak narrated to us, from Ma'mar, that a man from the people of India arrived under a guarantee of safety, and a man from the Muslims killed him in retaliation for his brother. So he wrote regarding that to Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz. He wrote back: "Do not kill him, but take the blood money from him and send it to his heirs." And he ordered that he be imprisoned.

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا بن مبارك عن معمر أن رجلا من أهل الهند قدم بأمان فقتله رجل من المسلمين بأخيه فكتب في ذلك إلى عمر بن عبد العزيز فكتب أن لا تقتله وخذ منه الدية فابعث بها إلى ورثته وأمر به فسجن
