Hadith record

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws , said, ‘I asked him asws about the Words of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic [5:45] but he who foregoes it, it shall be an expiation for him . So he asws said: ‘It would expiate from his sins by the measurement of what he forgave’. And I asked him asws about the Words of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic [2:178] but if any remission is made to any one by his (aggrieved) brother then prosecution (for the blood wit) should be made according to usage, and payment should be made to him in a good manner . He asws said: ‘It is befitting for the one for whom is the right that he should not (financially) constrain his brother when he has reconciled with him upon the wergild, and if it befitting for the one upon whom is the (payable) right that he should not delay his brother when he has the ability upon what he has to be given, and he should pay it to him in a good manner’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him asws about the Words of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic [2:178] so whoever exceeds the limit after this he shall have a painful Punishment . So he asws said: ‘He is the man who accepts the wergild, or forgives, or reconciles, then exceeds, so he kills. Thus, for him is the painful Punishment just as Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic Says’.
