Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29306 — Wounds of men and women

Rabi'ah bin Abi Abd al-Rahman said: I asked Sa'id bin al-Musayyib: "What is due for the breaking of a woman's little finger?" He said: "Ten camels." I asked: "And for these two, that is, the little finger and the finger joined to it?" He said: "Twenty camels." I asked: "What is due for these three fingers?" He said: "Thirty camels." I pointed to the four fingers and asked: "What is due for these?" He said: "Twenty camels." The narrator said: I said: "When her pain increased and her suffering grew greater, why did her blood money become less?" He said: "Are you from Iraq?" I said: "Rather, either a scholar who seeks certainty or an ignorant man seeking to learn." He replied: "O son of my brother, this is the Sunnah."
