4538. It was narrated from 'Āishah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The family of the murder victim should refrain from retaliating (Yanhajizū), and the closest relative, then the next closest, may make this decision, even if it is a woman." (Da'if) [Abū Dāwūd said: Meaning, the pardon of a woman is acceptable if she is one of the heirs. And it was conveyed to me from Abū ‘Ubaid,[1] who said: “Yanḥajizū: (meaning) refrain from applying the punishment.”]
4538 - حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حِصْنًا، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، يُخْبِرُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «عَلَى الْمُقْتَتِلِينَ أَنْ يَنْحَجِزُوا الْأَوَّلَ فَالْأَوَّلَ، وَإِنْ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةً» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ عَفْوَ النِّسَاءِ فِي الْقَتْلِ جَائِزٌ إِذَا كَانَتْ إِحْدَى الْأَوْلِيَاءِ، وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ يَنْحَجِزُوا يَكُفُّوا عَنِ الْقَوَدِ»
