Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ibn Jurayj says that I asked Hazrat Ata when does the amount of blood money reach such a level that all the members of the 'Aqilah are required to pay it—when it reaches one-third? He replied: Yes, I think so, and I have no doubt that he also said this: and as long as it does not reach one-third, then at that time it will be obligatory upon the specific tribe of that person.
