Retaliation
Sa'id b. al-Musayyib told that ‘Umar b. al-Khattab killed five or seven people for one man whom they had killed treacherously, ‘Umar saying. “If the people of San'a’ had conspired against him I would have killed them all.”
Malik transmitted it, and Bukhari transmitted something similar on the authority of Ibn ‘Umar.
