Hadith 772
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالَ : أنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : كَانَتْ قُرَيْظَةُ وَالنَّضِيرُ ، وَكَانَ النَّضِيرُ أَشْرَفُ مِنْ قُرَيْظَةَ ، فَكَانَ إِذَا قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّضِيرِ رَجُلا مِنْ قُرَيْظَةَ وُدِيَ بِمِائَةِ وَسْقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ ، وَإِذَا قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْظَةَ رَجُلا مِنْ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ قُتِلَ بِهِ ، فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَتَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّضِيرِ رَجُلا مِنْ قُرَيْظَةَ ، فَقَالُوا : ادْفَعُوهُ إِلَيْنَا نَقْتُلْهُ ، فَقَالُوا : بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَوْهُ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَإِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ سورة المائدة آية 42 قَالَ ، فَالْقِسْطُ : النَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ ، ثُمَّ نزلت أَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ سورة المائدة آية 50 " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that in Madinah there were (the Jewish) tribes of Qurayzah and Nadir. Nadir was more honorable than Qurayzah. Whenever a man from Nadir killed a man from Qurayzah, one hundred wasq of dates would be given as blood money. But whenever a man from Qurayzah killed a man from Nadir, he would be killed in retaliation for the slain. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, a man from Nadir killed a man from Qurayzah. They said: Hand him over to us, we will kill him. The people of Nadir said: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) will decide between us and you. They came to him, and Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: __QUR_5:42__ (If you judge between them, then judge with justice), and justice is that a life is taken for a life. Then this verse was revealed: __QUR_5:50__ (Do they seek the judgment of ignorance?).
