وعن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال : « ألا إن دية الخطأ وشبه العمد ما كان بالسوط والعصا مائة من الإبل منها أربعون في بطونها أولادها ». أخرجه أبو داود والنسائي وابن ماجه وصححه ابن حبان.
‘Abdullah Ibn 'Amro ibn al-'As (RAA) narrated that The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The Diyah for accidental and quasi-deliberate homicide -such as that inflicted with a whip or a stick- is a hundred camels, forty of which are pregnant she-camels.” Related by Abu-Dawud, An-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah. Ibn Hibban graded it as Sahih.

Benefits and Issues:
The chapter regarding the blood money (diyah) for accidental killing resembling intentional killing (shibh al-‘amd) is placed here according to some manuscripts; otherwise, in most manuscripts, this chapter comes after the chapter "Regarding One Who Practices Medicine" (fi man tatabbaba). Likewise, in this manuscript, this chapter is also found again at that place. There are three types of killing:
➊ Intentional killing (qatl ‘amd): which is done deliberately and knowingly.
➋ Accidental killing (qatl khata’): which occurs without intention or purpose.
➌ Accidental killing resembling intentional killing (qatl khata’ shibh al-‘amd): that is, the one who strikes intended to hit with something that does not usually cause death, nor did he intend to kill. For example, he struck with a stick, a whip, or a stone—things with which a person does not usually die—but by coincidence, the struck person died.
