أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ الْحَوْضِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا جَامِعُ بْنُ مَطَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فِي عُنُقِهِ نِسْعَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَخِي كَانَا فِي جُبٍّ يَحْفِرَانِهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَرَفَعَ الْمِنْقَارَ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ رَأْسَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ اعْفُ عَنْهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَى وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَخِي كَانَا فِي جُبٍّ يَحْفِرَانِهَا فَرَفَعَ الْمِنْقَارَ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ رَأْسَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اعْفُ عَنْهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ هَذَا وَأَخِي كَانَا فِي جُبٍّ يَحْفِرَانِهَا فَرَفَعَ الْمِنْقَارَ أُرَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَضَرَبَ رَأْسَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَتَلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اعْفُ عَنْهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اذْهَبْ،‏‏‏‏ إِنْ قَتَلْتَهُ كُنْتَ مِثْلَهُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَرَجَ بِهِ حَتَّى جَاوَزَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَمَا تَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَرَجَعَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنْ قَتَلْتُهُ كُنْتُ مِثْلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَعْفُ،‏‏‏‏ فَخَرَجَ يَجُرُّ نِسْعَةٌ حَتَّى خَفِيَ عَلَيْنَا.

It was narrated from 'Alqamah bin Wa'il that his father said: I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah when a man came with a string around his neck and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this man and my brother were digging a hole, and he raised his pickax and struck his companion in the head, Killing him. 'The Prophet said: 'Forgive him,' but he refused and said: 'O Prophet of Allah, this man and my brother were digging a whole, and he raised his pickax and struck his companion in the head, killing him.' The Prophet said: 'Forgive him,' but he refused, then he stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, this man and my brother were digging a hole, and he raised his pickax and struck his companion in the head, killing him.' The Prophet said: 'Forgive him,' but he refused. He (the prophet) said: 'Go, but if you kill him, you will be like him. So he took him out, and they called out to him: Didn't you hear what the Messenger of Allah said?' So he came back and he said: 'If I kill him will I be like him?' He said: 'Yes. Forgive him.' Then he went out, dragging his string, until he disappeared from our view.
