وَعَن أبي شُريحِ الخُزاعيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ أُصِيبَ بِدَمٍ أَوْ خَبْلٍ وَالْخَبْلُ: الْجُرْحُ فَهُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ بَيْنَ إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ: فَإِنْ أَرَادَ الرَّابِعَةَ فَخُذُوا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ: بَيْنَ أَنْ يَقْتَصَّ أَوْ يَعْفُوَ أَوْ يَأْخُذَ الْعَقْلَ فَإِنْ أَخَذَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ عَدَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلَهُ النَّارُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا مُخَلَّدًا أبدا ". رَوَاهُ الدَّارمِيّ
Abu Shurayh al-Khuza'i reported: I heard the Messenger of God say: ‘Whoever suffers a death or an injury—the injury being a wound—has a choice among three things. If he seeks a fourth, restrain him: retaliation, pardon, or blood money. If he accepts one of these and then transgresses thereafter, he will be in the Fire, abiding there forever.’ Al-Darimi transmitted it.
Translation notes
The Arabic literally says “the fourth” before instructing others to restrain him; the English witness clarifies this as seeking a fourth option.
