Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man shot an arrow into another man’s knee. The injured man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to present a case for retribution (qisas). He was told,“First recover (from your injury).”He did not accept this and, acting hastily, took retribution. As a result, his leg did not heal, but the leg of the one from whom retribution was taken did heal. (The one who took retribution) came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him:“You will get nothing; you acted in disobedience.”The narrator, Shaykh Abu Ahmad bin Abdus, says: This narration has only been transmitted by Abu Bakr and Uthman (both sons of Abu Shaybah). The Shaykh says: Both sons of Abu Shaybah made a mistake in transmitting it. Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal and other hadith scholars have transmitted this narration as a mursal hadith from Ibn ‘Ulayyah, from Ayyub, from ‘Amr (bin Dinar). The students of ‘Amr bin Dinar have also transmitted it from him in this way, and its being mursal is established.
