The lips: what is due for them?

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him): For the lower lip there is two-thirds of the blood money (diyah), because it holds in food and water, and for the upper lip there is a third of the blood money.

It is narrated from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib: For the lower lip there is two-thirds, and for the upper lip one-third, of the blood money (diyah).

Muhammad bin Ishaq said: For the two lips there is blood money (diyah): two-thirds for the lower and one-third for the upper.

Al-Hasan said: For the two lips there is blood money (diyah), and for one of them half the blood money.

It is narrated from Shurayh: For the two lips there is the full blood money (diyah).

Amir said: For the two lips there is the full blood money (diyah), and for one of them half the blood money.

Ibrahim said: It used to be said: For the paired organs of a person there is the full blood money (diyah), and for one of a pair half the blood money; and for the organs that are single there is the full blood money.

Amr bin Shu'ayb said: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave judgment of one hundred camels for the two lips.

Ibn Jurayj said: I asked Ata: How much blood money (diyah) is there for the lips? He replied: Fifty camels for each lip. I asked: Which of them is given preference? He replied: People hold that the lower one is given preference. I asked: By how much is it given preference? He replied: I do not know.

Mujahid said: For the two lips there are fifty camels each. The lower lip of a man or a woman is given preference through the aggravated form of blood money (diyah) (mughallazah), but it is not given preference by an increase in number. The aggravation for the lower lip is in the ages of the camels.

Mujahid said: The two lips are equal: half the blood money (diyah) for each.

Al-Sha'bi said: For the two lips there is blood money (diyah): two-thirds for the lower and one-third for the upper.
