Alaqama bin Wail reported on the authority of his father that a person was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 Allahs Messenger ﷺ 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 ﷺ , and so he let him off. Ismail bin Salim said: I made a mention of it to Habib bin Abu Thabit and he said: Ibn Ashwa reported to me that Allahs Apostle ﷺ had asked him to pardon him, but he refused.
