Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Qatl Shibh-e-Amad (quasi-intentional murder) is to kill someone with a large stone or a stick.

It is narrated from Hasan that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: A person who dies due to a whip or a stick falls under the category of quasi-intentional killing (shibh al-‘amd).

Hazrat Sha'bi, Hakam, and Hammad said that if a person is harmed with a stone, whip, or stick and then dies, this is considered quasi-intentional murder (shibh-i-amd), and in this case, the aggravated blood money (diyat mughallazah) is due.

Ibrahim said that if the intention is to strike with anything other than iron, then this is considered shibh-e-amd (quasi-intentional killing), and shibh-e-amd occurs only in the case of life (i.e., the soul). In matters less than life, there is no shibh-e-amd.

It is narrated from Ibrahim that whoever is killed without a weapon, it falls under quasi-intentional murder (shubh-i-amd), and in this case, the blood money (diyah) is obligatory upon the relatives.

Hazrat Zuhri said that Qatl Shibh-e-Amad is when a person strikes another as a consequence of a crime committed between them, but does not intend to kill him, yet the person becomes ill due to that blow and dies.
