It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) found a man murdered between two settlements. At the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the distance between the two settlements was measured. That span of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is still before my eyes. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent him to the settlement which was nearer of the two.
