2692 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا حَبَّانُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَ: لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «مَا رُفِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْءٌ فِيهِ الْقِصَاصُ، إِلَّا أَمَرَ فِيهِ بِالْعَفْوِ»

Commentary
a. Killing in retaliation is a lawful action, but forgiving is better, and appreciated. b. The judge can give a suggestion of reconciliation or forgiveness to the parties but he cannot compel them to accept it. It's the right of the parties to accept or reject it.
