## Hadith #4538

**Book:** Types of Blood-Wit (Kitab Al-Diyat) | **Narrator(s):** Amr bin Dinar عمرو بن دينار الأثرم الجمحي, ibn Abbas, Muhammad bin Abi Ghalb محمد بن أبي غالب القومسي, Sa'id bin Sulaiman al-Dabi سعيد بن سليمان - سعدويه الضبي, Sulaiman bin Khatir al-'Abdi سليمان بن كثير العبدي, Tawus bin Kaysan طاوس | **Grade:** Da'if

The Prophet (ﷺ) Said: The disputants should refrain from taking retaliation. The one who is nearer should forgive first and then the one who is next to him, even if (the one who forgives) were a woman.
Abu Dawud said: I have been informed that forgiving by women in the case of murder is permissible if a woman were one of the heirs (of the slain). I have been told on the authority of Abu ‘Ubaid about the meaning of the word yanhajizu, that is, they should refrain from retaliation.
