Narrated Wail Ibn Hujr: I was with the Prophet ﷺ when a man who was a murderer and had a strap round his neck was brought to him. He then called the legal guardian of the victim and asked him: Do you forgive him? He said: No. He asked: Will you accept the blood-money? He said: No. He asked: Will you kill him? He said: Yes. He said: Take him. When he turned his back; he said: Do you forgive him? He said: No. He said: Will you accept the blood-money? He said: No. He said: Will you kill him? He said: Yes. He said: Take him. After repeating all this a fourth time; he said: If you forgive him; he will bear the burden of his own sin and the sin of the victim. He then forgave him. He the narrator said: I saw him pulling the strap.
