The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ - يُقَالُ لَهُ قَتَادَةُ - حَذَفَ ابْنَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فَأَصَابَ سَاقَهُ فَنُزِيَ فِي جُرْحِهِ فَمَاتَ فَقَدِمَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ جُعْشُمٍ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ اعْدُدْ عَلَى مَاءِ قُدَيْدٍ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةَ بَعِيرٍ حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ عَلَيْكَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَخَذَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الإِبِلِ ثَلاَثِينَ حِقَّةً وَثَلاَثِينَ جَذَعَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ خَلِفَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ قَالَ هَا أَنَا ذَا . قَالَ خُذْهَا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" لَيْسَ لِقَاتِلٍ شَىْءٌ " .
Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Amr ibn Shuayb that
a man of the Banu Mudlij called Qatada threw a sword at his son and it
struck his thigh. The wound bled profusely and he died. Suraqa ibn
Jusham came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and mentioned that to him Umar said
to him, "At the watering place of Qudayd count one hundred and twenty
camels and wait until I come to you." When Umar ibn al-Khattab came to
him, he took thirty four-year-old camels, thirty five-year-old camels,
and forty pregnant camels from them. Then he said, "Where is the
brother of the slain man?" He said, "Here." He said, "Take them. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'The killer gets nothing.' "
