Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29815 — The blood of Muslims is of equal
٢٩٨١٥ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا عبيد اللَّه بن موسى عن علي بن صالح عن سماك عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس قال: (كانت) (١) قريظة والنضير، ⦗٢٩٧⦘ و (كانت) (٢) النضير أشرف من قريظة [(فكان) (٣) إذا قتل رجل من قريظة] (٤) رجلًا من النضير قُتل به، وإن قَتل رجل من النضير رجلًا من قريظة (وداه) (٥) مئة وسق من تمر، فلما بعث النبي ﷺ قتل رجل من النضير (رجلًا) (٦) من قريظة، قال: ادفعوه إلينا نقتله، فقالوا: بيننا وبينكم النبي ﷺ فأتوه فنزلت: ﴿وَإِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ﴾ [المائدة: ٤٢]، فالقسط: النفس بالنفس، ثم نزلت: ﴿أَفَحُكْمَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ﴾ (٧) [المائدة: ٥٠].
Ikrimah said that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Qurayzah and Nadir were two tribes, and the tribe of Nadir were more honored than the people of Qurayzah. When a man of the tribe of Qurayzah killed a man of the tribe of Nadir, he was killed in return. And if a man of the tribe of Nadir killed a man of the tribe of Qurayzah, he paid him one hundred wasq of dates as blood money. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, a man of the tribe of Nadir killed a man of Qurayzah. They said: Hand this killer over to us so that we may kill him. Those people replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will judge between us and you. So they all came to him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then this verse was revealed: "And if you judge, then judge between them with justice" [Al-Ma'idah: 42]. Justice here means: a life for a life. Then this verse was revealed: "Do they then seek the judgment of the time of ignorance?" [Al-Ma'idah: 50].
