Muhammad ibn Yahya reported to us: Abd al-Razzaq reported to us: Ma‘mar informed us, from al-Zuhri, from Urwah, from Aishah: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) sent Abu Jahm ibn Hudhayfah to collect alms. A man disputed with him over his alms, so Abu Jahm struck and wounded him. They came to the Prophet and said, ‘Retaliation, Messenger of Allah!’ The Prophet said, ‘You will have such-and-such.’ They were not satisfied, so he said, ‘You will have such-and-such.’ They accepted. The Prophet said, ‘I will address the people and tell them that you are satisfied.’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He addressed the people: ‘These men of Layth came to me seeking retaliation, and I offered them such-and-such. Are you satisfied?’ They said, ‘No.’ The Emigrants were about to attack them, but the Prophet ordered them to hold back, and they did. Then he summoned the men and offered them more. He asked, ‘Are you satisfied?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘I will address the people and tell them you are satisfied.’ They said, ‘Yes.’ He addressed the people and then asked, ‘Are you satisfied?’ They said, ‘Yes.’ Ibn Majah said: I heard Muhammad ibn Yahya say, ‘Ma‘mar alone transmitted this; I know of no one else who narrated it.’
