Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: A man of Banu Adi was killed. The Prophet ﷺ fixed his blood-wit at the rate of twelve thousand (dirhams). Abu Dawud said: Ibn Uyainah transmitted it from Amr, from Ikrimah, from the Prophet ﷺ, and he did not mention Ibn Abbas.

And the cash will be equivalent to the value of the camels.
