English translation
[4388] 33 - (...) It was narrated from 'Alqamah bin Wâ'il that his father said: "A man who had killed another man was brought to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ by the heir of the one who had been killed, and (the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ gave the heir the right to retaliate). He took him away with a rope around his neck by which he was leading him. When he left, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The killer and the slain are both in Hell.' A man went to that man and told him what the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had said, so he let him go." Ismâ'il bin Sâlim said: "I mentioned that to Ḥabîb bin Abî Thâbit and he said: 'Ibn Ashwa' told me that the Prophet ﷺ asked him to let him go and he refused.”
