وَعَنْ أَبِي [1] شُرَيْحٍ اَلْخُزَاعِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -{ فَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ بَعْدَ مَقَالَتِي هَذِهِ, فَأَهْلُهُ بَيْنَ خِيَرَتَيْنِ: إِمَّا أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا اَلْعَقْلِ. أَوْ يَقْتُلُوا } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَالنَّسَائِيُّ [2] .
Abil Shuraih Al-Khaza'i (RAA) narrated that The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “If the relative of one of you is killed after my speech, his family has one of two choices: ‘Either they take his Diyah or kill the killer.” Related by Abu Dawud and An-Nasa’i.
