4504. Abū Shuraiḥ Al-Ka'bī said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'O (the tribe of) Khuzā'ah, you have killed this man from Hudhail, and I shall pay his Diyah. But if anyone is killed after this, his family will have two choices: They may either accept the Diyah or kill (the killer)." (Sahīh)

Arabic text

4504 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا شُرَيْحٍ الْكَعْبِيَّ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَلَا إِنَّكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ خُزَاعَةَ قَتَلْتُمْ هَذَا الْقَتِيلَ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ، وَإِنِّي عَاقِلُهُ، فَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ بَعْدَ مَقَالَتِي هَذِهِ قَتِيلٌ، فَأَهْلُهُ بَيْنَ خِيَرَتَيْنِ: أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا الْعَقْلَ، أَوْ يَقْتُلُوا "
