اُردوEn
قَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا الْوَاقِدِيُّ ، ثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ شَيْبَةَ ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ : كُنَّا فِي جَاهِلِيَّتِنَا وَإِنَّمَا نَحْمِلُ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ مَا بَلَغَ ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ ، وَيُؤْخَذُ بِهِ حَالًا ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يُوجَدْ عِنْدَنَا كَانَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الدَّيْنِ يَتَجَارَى ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ كَانَ فِيمَا سَنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْعَاقِلِ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَالْأَنْصَارِ ثُلُثُ الدِّيَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: In our days of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah) we, as the 'aqilah' (those responsible for paying blood-money), used to bear an amount equal to one third of the blood-money, and it was collected immediately in cash. Then, if that amount was not available with us in time, it was treated like a continuing debt. But when the blessed era of Islam came, under the law that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) laid down for the aqilah of Quraysh and the Ansar, the amount due from them was fixed as "one third of the blood-money".
