A man who had killed another was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the victim's heir was granted retaliation against him. He led him away with a rope around his neck, dragging him along.As they were leaving, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The killer and the killed are both in the Fire."A man went to the heir and reported to him what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said, so he released him.Ismail bin Salim said, I mentioned this to Habib bin Abu Thabit, and he said, Ibn Ashwa narrated to me that the Prophet ﷺ had actually asked the heir to pardon him, but he refused.
