1401. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The Hudūd are not carried in the Masjid, and the father is not killed for the son." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] We do not know of this Hadīth to be Marfū' except through the narration of Ismā'il bin Muslim. Some of the people of knowledge have criticized Ismā'il bin Muslim due to his memory.
١٤٠١ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تُقَامُ الْحُدُودُ فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ،» وَلَا يُقْتَلُ الْوَالِدُ بِالْوَلَدِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مَرْفُوعًا إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْمَكِّيُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ.

This narration, according to its chain is a weak narration, but its subject is correct and is in accordance with the Islamic Law. The purpose of killing in retaliation is to make a lesson for others so that nobody should dare to commit such a heinous crime. If the love and relationship of being a father did not stop him from murdering then even killing in retaliation will not work.
