Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28909 — The testicles: what is due for them?
٢٨٩٠٩ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا إسماعيل بن إبراهيم عن داود عن سعيد ابن المسيب قال: في البيضة اليسرى ثلثا الدية، وفي اليمنى الثلث، قلت: (لم؟) (١) قال: لأن اليسرى إذا ذهبت لم يولد له، وإذا ذهبت اليمنى ولد له.
Sa'id bin al-Musayyib said: For the left testicle there is two-thirds of the blood money (diyah), and for the right one-third of the blood money. Dawud said: I asked: Why is that? He replied: Because when the left testicle is lost, no children are born to the man, and if the right is lost, children can be born to him.
