“A man brought the killer of his relative to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Pardon him,' but the refused. He said: 'Take the blood money,' but he refused. He said: 'Go and kill him, but then you will be like him.’ Someone caught up with him and reminded him that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had said: 'Go and kill him, but then you will be like him.’ So he let him go. He (the killer) was seen dragging his rope (with which he had been tired), going to his family. It was as if he had been fettered (with his hands behind his back). (One of the narrator) 'Abu Umair said in his narration: "Ibn Shawdhab said, narrating from 'Abdur Rehman bin Qasim: 'No one has right after the prophet ﷺ to say: "Go and kill him, but then you will be like him." Ibn Majah said: This is the narration of the Rmiliyin, and is found only with them. (Meaning, the three who narrated this to Ibn Majah were all from Rmlah.
