حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حِصْنًا، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، يُخْبِرُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رضى الله عنها عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَى الْمُقْتَتِلِينَ أَنْ يَنْحَجِزُوا الأَوَّلَ فَالأَوَّلَ وَإِنْ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةً ‏"‏ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ عَفْوَ النِّسَاءِ فِي الْقَتْلِ جَائِزٌ إِذَا كَانَتْ إِحْدَى الأَوْلِيَاءِ وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ ‏"‏ يَنْحَجِزُوا ‏"‏ . يَكُفُّوا عَنِ الْقَوَدِ .

Narrator: Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin

English translation
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: 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
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ বিবাদমান পক্ষবৃন্দ যেন কিসাস গ্রহণ থেকে বিরত থাকে। ঘণিষ্ঠতর ব্যক্তি কিসাস ক্ষমা করবে, অতঃপর পরবর্তী ঘনিষ্ঠতর ব্যক্তি, যদিও সে মহিলা হয়। ইমাম আবূ দাঊদ (রহঃ) বলেন, ‘ইয়ানহাজিযু’ শব্দের অর্থ হলো, তারা কিসাস গ্রহণ থেকে বিরত থাকবে। ইমাম আবূ দাঊদ (রহঃ) বলেন, মহিলাদের জন্যও হত্যাকারীকে ক্ষমা করা বৈধ। যদি তিনি নিহতের ওয়ারিস হন। দুর্বল।
