Sahih Muslim 1680b (Book 28, Hadith 47) #11499
Forgiveness in Killing Cases

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a person who was brought to the Messenger of Allah for killing another person, and the heir of the deceased had dragged him with a strap around his neck. The Messenger of Allah said that both the killer and killed are doomed to fire.

'Alaqama b. Wa'il reported on the authority of his father that a person was brought to the Messenger of Allah who had killed another person, and the heir of the person slain had dragged him (to the Holy Prophet) with a strap around his neck. As he turned away Allah's Messenger said: The killer and the killed are (doomed) to fire. A person came to the other person (the heir of the deceased) and he reported to him the words of the Messenger of Allah , and so he let him off. Isma'il b. Salim said: I made a mention of it to Habib b. Abu Thabit and he said: Ibn Ashwa' reported to me that Allah's Apostle had asked him to pardon him, but he refused.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، بْنُ سَالِمٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِرَجُلٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلاً فَأَقَادَ وَلِيَّ الْمَقْتُولِ مِنْهُ فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ وَفِي عُنُقِهِ نِسْعَةٌ يَجُرُّهَا فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ الْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَتَى رَجُلٌ الرَّجُلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَقَالَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَخَلَّى عَنْهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِحَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَشْوَعَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ إِنَّمَا سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُ فَأَبَى

QUICK LESSONS:
Try your best to forgive people when they have done wrong instead of punishing them or taking revenge on them .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about forgiveness in cases where someone has been killed. It tells us that even if someone has committed a crime like killing another person, they should still be forgiven if possible. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that both the killer and killed are doomed to fire if no forgiveness is given. This teaches us that we should always try our best to forgive people when they have done wrong instead of punishing them or taking revenge on them. We should also remember that God will judge everyone according to their deeds on Judgment Day so it's important for us not to take matters into our own hands but rather leave it up to God's justice system.
