Chapter: The Amount Of The Diyah.

Narrated Amr bin Suhaib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported that the value of the blood-money at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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 Ata ibn Abu Rabah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.

Abu Dawud said: I read out to Saeed bin Ya'qub al-Taliqini who said: Abu Tumailah transmitted to us, saying: Muhammad bin Ishaq transmitted to us saying: Ata reported Jabir bin Abdullah as saying: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fixed; and he mentioned the tradition like that of Musa; he said: And those who possess corn food should pay something which I do not remember.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: The Prophet ﷺ said: The blood-wit for accidental killing should be twenty she-camels which had entered their fourth year, twenty she-camels which had entered their fifth year, twenty she-camels which had entered their second year, twenty she-camels which had entered their third year, and twenty male camels which had entered their second year. It does not beyond Ibn Masud.

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.
