It was narrated from Ans bin Malik that a man brought the killer of his kinsman to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said: "Forgive him." But he refused. He said: "Take the Diyah," but he refused. He said: "Go and kill him then, for you are just like him." So he went away, but some people caught up with the man and told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said: "Messenger of Allah had said: "Kill him for you are just like him." So he let him go, and the man passed by me dragging his string.
