A man came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم crying for help. He said: His slave-girl, Messenger of Allah! He said: Woe to you, what happened with you ? He said that it was an evil one. He saw the slave-girl of his master; he became jealous of him, and cut off his penis. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Bring the man to me. The man was called, but people could not get control over him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then said: Go away, you are free. He asked: Messenger of Allah! upon whom does my help lie? He replied: On every believer, or he said: On every Muslim. Abu Dawud said: The name of the man who was emancipated was Rawh bin Dinar Abu Dawud said: The man who cut off the penis was Zinba' Abu Dawud said: The Zinba' Abu Rawh was master of the slave.

— Narrated Amr bin Shuaib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather told

Muhayyasah bin Masud and Abdullah bin Sahl came to Khaibar and parted (from each other) among palm trees. Abdullah bin Sahl was killed. The Jews were blamed (for the murder). Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl and Huwayyasah and Muhayyasah, the sons of his uncle (Masud) came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Abdur-Rahman, who was the youngest, spoke about his brother, but the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to him: (Respect) the elder, (respect) the elder or he said: Let the eldest begin. They then spoke about their friend and the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Fifty of you should take oaths regarding a man from them (the Jews) and he should be entrusted (to him) with his rope (in his neck). They said: It is a matter which we did not see. How can we take oaths ? He said: The Jews exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah! they are a people who are infidels. So the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم paid them bloodwit himself. Sahl said: Once I entered the resting place of their camels, and the she-camel struck me with her lef. Hammad said this or (something) similar to it. Abu Dawud said: Another version transmitted by Yahya bin Saeed has: Would you swear fifty oaths and make you claim regarding your friend or your slain man ? Bishr, the transmitter, did mention blood. Abdah transmitted it from Yahya as transmitted by Hammad. Ibn Uyainah has also transmitted it from Yahya, and began with his words: The Jew will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths which they will swear. He did not mention the claim. Abu Dawud said: This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn Uyainah.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏هُوَ وَرِجَالٌ مِنْ كُبَرَاءِ قَوْمِهِ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُحَيِّصَةَ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَصَابَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُتِيَ مُحَيِّصَةُ فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَدْ قُتِلَ وَطُرِحَ فِي فَقِيرٍ أَوْ عَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَى يَهُودَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ بِخَيْبَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يُرِيدُ السِّنَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَتَبُوا إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ لَيْسُوا مُسْلِمِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الدَّارَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ سَهْلٌ:‏‏‏‏ لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ .

Abdullah bin Abi Sahl and Muhayyasah رضی اللہ عنہما came to Khaibar on account of the calamity (i.e. famine) that befall them. Muhayyasah came and told the Abdullah bin Sahl had been killed and thrown in a well or stream. He hen came to the Jews and said: I swear by Allah, you have killed him. They said: We swear by Allah, we have not killed him. He then proceeded and came to his tribe and mentioned this to them. Then he, his brother Huwayyasah, who was older to him, and Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl came forward (to the Prophet). Muhayyasah began to speak. It was he who was at Khaibar. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then said to him: Let the eldest (speak), let the eldest (speak), meaning age. So Huwayyasah spoke, and after him Muhayyasah spoke. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then said: They should either pay the bloodwit for you friend or they should be prepared for war. So the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم wrote to them about it. They wrote (in reply): We swear by Allah, we have not killed him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then said to Huwayyasah, Muhayyasah and Abdur-Rahman: Will you take an oath and thus have the claim to the blood of your friend ? They said: No. He (the Prophet) said: The Jews will then take an oath. They said: They are not Muslims. Then the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم himself paid the bloodwit. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then sent on one hundred she-camels and they were entered in their house. Sahl said: A red she-camel of them gave me a kick.

— Sahl bin Abi Hathmah رضی اللہ عنہ and some senior men of the tribe told that

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا. ح حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ بِالْقَسَامَةِ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي نَصْرِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ بِبَحْرَةِ الرُّغَاءِ عَلَى شَطِّ لِيَّةِ الْبَحْرَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الْقَاتِلُ وَالْمَقْتُولُ مِنْهُمْ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهَذَا لَفْظُ مَحْمُودٍ بِبَحْرَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَقَامَهُ مَحْمُودٌ وَحْدَهُ عَلَى شَطِّ لِيَّةَ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم killed a man of Banu Nadr bin Malik at Harrah ar-Righa' at the bank of Layyat al-Bahrah. The transmitter Mahmud (ibn Khalid) also mentioned the words along with the words at Bahrah the slayer and the slain were from among them. Mahmud alone transmitted in this tradition the words at the bank of Layyah.

— Narrated Amr bin Shuaib

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّائِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏زَعَمَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ انْطَلَقُوا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَجَدُوا أَحَدَهُمْ قَتِيلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا لِلَّذِينَ وَجَدُوهُ عِنْدَهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ قَتَلْتُمْ صَاحِبَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ وَلَا عَلِمْنَا قَاتِلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ تَأْتُونِي بِالْبَيِّنَةِ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَ هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ مَا لَنَا بَيِّنَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَيَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ لَا نَرْضَى بِأَيْمَانِ الْيَهُودِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَرِهَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُبْطِلَ دَمَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَدَاهُ مِائَةً مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ .

A man of the Ansar called Sahl bin Abi Hathmah told him that some people of his tribe went to Khaibar and separated there. They found one of them slain. They said to those with whom they had found him: You have killed our friend. They replied: We did not kill him, nor do we know the slayer. We (the people of the slain) then went to the Prophet of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said to them: Bring proof against the one who has slain him. They replied: We have no proof. He said: Then they will take an oath for you. They said: We do not accept the oaths of the Jews. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم did not like no responsibility should be fixed for his blood. So he himself paid his bloodwit consisting of one hundred camels of sadaqah (i. e. camels sent to the Prophet as zakat).

— Narrated Bashir bin Yasar

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبَايَةُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَصْبَحَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ مَقْتُولًا بِخَيْبَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَانْطَلَقَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَكُمْ شَاهِدَانِ يَشْهَدَانِ عَلَى قَتْلِ صَاحِبِكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ يَكُنْ ثَمَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَإِنَّمَا هُمْ يَهُودُ وَقَدْ يَجْتَرِئُونَ عَلَى أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَاخْتَارُوا مِنْهُمْ خَمْسِينَ فَاسْتَحْلَفُوهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَوْا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَدَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ .

A man of the Ansar was killed at Khaybar and his relatives went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and mentioned that to him. He asked: Have you two witnesses who can testify to the murderer of your friend? They replied: Messenger of Allah! there was not a single Muslim present, but only Jews who sometimes have the audacity to do even greater crimes than this. He said: Then choose fifty of them and demand that they take an oath; but they refused and the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم paid the blood-wit himself.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْحَرَّانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بُجَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ سَهْلًا وَاللَّهِ أَوْهَمَ الْحَدِيثَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَبَ إِلَى يَهُودَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ وُجِدَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ قَتِيلٌ فَدُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَتَبُوا يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ وَلَا عَلِمْنَا قَاتِلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ مِائَةِ نَاقَةٍ .

I swear by Allah, Sahl had a misunderstanding about this tradition. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم wrote to the Jews: A slain man has been found amongnst you, so pay his bloodwit. They wrote (to him): Swearing by Allah fifty oaths, we neither killed him nor do we know his slayer. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم himself paid his bloodwit which consisted of one hundred camels.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to the Jews and started with them: Fifty of you should take the oaths. But they refused (to take the oaths). He then said to the Ansar: Prove your claim. They said: Do we take the oaths without seeing, Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then imposed the blood-wit on the Jews because he (the slain) was found among them.

I and Ashtar went to Ali رضی اللہ عنہ and said to him: Did the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم give you any instruction about anything for which he did not give any instruction to the people in general? He said: No, except what is contained in this document of mine. Musaddad said: He then took out a document. Ahmad said: A document from the sheath of his sword. It contained: The lives of all Muslims are equal; they are one hand against others; the lowliest of them can guarantee their protection. Beware, a Muslim must not be killed for an infidel, nor must one who has been given a covenant be killed while his covenant holds. If anyone introduces an innovation, he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an innovation or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is cursed by Allah, by His angels, and by all the people. Musaddad said: Ibn Abu Urubah's version has: He took out a document.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said, mentioning the tradition similar to the one transmitted by Ali رضی اللہ عنہ.

حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حِصْنًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يُخْبِرُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عَلَى الْمُقْتَتِلِينَ أَنْ يَنْحَجِزُوا الْأَوَّلَ فَالْأَوَّلَ وَإِنْ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةً ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ عَفْوَ النِّسَاءِ فِي الْقَتْلِ جَائِزٌ إِذَا كَانَتْ إِحْدَى الْأَوْلِيَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فِي قَوْلِهِ:‏‏‏‏ يَنْحَجِزُوا يَكُفُّوا عَنِ الْقَوَدِ.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم Said: The disputants should refrain from taking retaliation. The one who is nearer should forgive first and then the one who is next to him, even if (the one who forgives) were a woman. Abu Dawud said: I have been informed that forgiving by women in the case of murder is permissible if a woman were one of the heirs (of the slain). I have been told on the authority of Abu Ubaid about the meaning of the word yanhajizu, that is, they should refrain from retaliation.

— Narrated Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا, Ummul Muminin

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ وَهَذَا حَدِيثُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ قُتِلَ ؟ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدٍ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي عِمِّيَّا فِي رَمْيٍ يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ أَوْ بِالسِّيَاطِ أَوْ ضَرْبٍ بِعَصًا فَهُوَ خَطَأٌ وَعَقْلُهُ عَقْلُ الْخَطَإِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ قُتِلَ عَمْدًا فَهُوَ قَوَدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدٍ:‏‏‏‏ قَوَدُ يَدٍ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنْ حَالَ دُونَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَغَضَبُهُ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَحَدِيثُ سُفْيَانَ أَتَمُّ.

Tawus, in his version said: If anyone is killed. Ibn Ubaid in his version said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If anyone is killed in error (blindly) when people are throwing stones, or by beating with whips, or striking with a stick, it is accidental and the compensation for accidental death is due. But if anyone is killed deliberately, retaliation is due. Ibn Ubaid in his version: Retaliation of the man is due. The agreed version then goes: If anyone comes in (between the two parties) to prevent it, Allah's curse and anger will rest on him, and neither supererogatory nor obligatory acts will be accepted from him. The version of the tradition of Sufyan is more perfect.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي غَالِبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect as mentioned by Sufyan.

— Narrated Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما

حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْقَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى أَنَّ مَنْ قُتِلَ خَطَأً فَدِيَتُهُ مِائَةٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ:‏‏‏‏ ثَلَاثُونَ بِنْتَ مَخَاضٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَثَلَاثُونَ بِنْتَ لَبُونٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَثَلَاثُونَ حِقَّةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَشَرَةُ بَنِي لَبُونٍ ذَكَرٍ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم gave judgment that if anyone is killed accidentally, his blood-wit should be one hundred camels: thirty she-camels which had entered their second year, thirty she-camels which had entered their third year, thirty she-camels which had entered their fourth year, and ten male camels which had entered their third year.

— Narrated Amr bin Suhaib, from his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَتْ قِيمَةُ الدِّيَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَمَانَ مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَدِيَةُ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ يَوْمَئِذٍ النِّصْفُ مِنْ دِيَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا إِنَّ الْإِبِلَ قَدْ غَلَتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَفَرَضَهَا عُمَرُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الذَّهَبِ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْوَرِقِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقَرِ مِائَتَيْ بَقَرَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الشَّاءِ أَلْفَيْ شَاةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْحُلَلِ مِائَتَيْ حُلَّةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَتَرَكَ دِيَةَ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ لَمْ يَرْفَعْهَا فِيمَا رَفَعَ مِنَ الدِّيَةِ .

The value of the blood-money at the time of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was eight hundred dinars or eight thousand dirhams, and the blood-money for the people of the Book was half of that for Muslims. He said: This applied till Umar (Allah be pleased with him) became caliph and he made a speech in which he said: Take note! Camels have become dear. So Umar fixed the value for those who possessed gold at one thousand dinars, for those who possessed silver at twelve thousand (dirhams), for those who possessed cattle at two hundred cows, for those who possessed sheep at two thousand sheep, and for those who possessed suits of clothing at two hundred suits. He left the blood-money for dhimmis (protected people) as it was, not raising it in proportion to the increase he made in the blood-wit.

— Narrated Amr bin Suhaib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى فِي الدِّيَةِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْإِبِلِ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقَرِ مِائَتَيْ بَقَرَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الشَّاءِ أَلْفَيْ شَاةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْحُلَلِ مِائَتَيْ حُلَّةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْقَمْحِ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَحْفَظْهُ مُحَمَّدٌ .

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم gave judgment that blood-wit for those who possessed camels should be one hundred camels, and for those who possessed cattle two hundred cows, and for those who possessed sheep one thousand sheep, and for those who possessed suits of clothing two hundred suits, and for those who possessed wheat something which the narrator Muhammad (ibn Ishaq) did not remember.
