A man who had killed another was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ handed him over to the victim's heir to be executed.The Prophet ﷺ then said to those sitting with him, "Both the killer and the one killed will be in the Fire."A man went after the heir and informed him of what the Prophet ﷺ had said, and when he was told this, he released the killer.The narrator said, I saw him dragging his rope behind him as he was let go.I mentioned this to Habib, and he said, Saeed bin Ashwa narrated to me, mentioning that the Prophet ﷺ had ordered the man to pardon him.
أخبرنا محمد بن معمر قال حدثنا يحيى بن حماد عن أبي عوانة عن إسمعيل بن سالم
أن النبي ﷺ أتي برجل قد قتل رجلا فدفعه إلى ولي المقتول يقتله فقال النبي ﷺ لجلسائه القاتل والمقتول في النار قال فاتبعه رجل فأخبره فلما أخبره تركه قال فلقد رأيته يجر نسعته حين تركه يذهب فذكرت ذلك لحبيب فقال حدثني سعيد بن أشوع قال وذكر أن النبي ﷺ أمر الرجل بالعفو
