Umar's viewpoint about retaliation

 It is narrated from Ibne Abi Husain that: 

“A man hit at the head of a person from the People of the Book. Umar bin Khattab decided to take retaliation from him. 

Maaz bin Jabal asked: ‘Do you know that you have no right to this? 

And it has come down from the Prophet.’ So Umar bin Khattab gave a dinar to that man and he was satisfied.”

(Kanzul Ummaal, 7:304 [15/97, H. 40243)
