Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 1522 — on What is Reported Regarding
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ ، كَانَ يَقُولُ : " دِيَةُ الْمَجُوسِيِّ ثَمَانِيَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ "
Sulaiman bin Yasar used to say that the blood money (diyah) of a Magian (Persian fire-worshipper) is eight hundred dirhams.
قَالَ مَالِك : وَهُوَ الْأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا . قَالَ مَالِك : وَجِرَاحُ الْيَهُودِيِّ وَالنَّصْرَانِيِّ وَالْمَجُوسِيِّ فِي دِيَاتِهِمْ عَلَى حِسَابِ جِرَاحِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي دِيَاتِهِمُ الْمُوضِحَةُ نِصْفُ عُشْرِ دِيَتِهِ، وَالْمَأْمُومَةُ ثُلُثُ دِيَتِهِ، وَالْجَائِفَةُ ثُلُثُ دِيَتِهِ، فَعَلَى حِسَابِ ذَلِكَ جِرَاحَاتُهُمْ كُلُّهَا
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This is the ruling according to us. Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: The blood money for the wounds of a Jew or a Christian is according to this calculation: for a "mudhiha" (a wound exposing the bone), one twentieth part; and for "mamuma" (a head wound reaching the membrane) and "jaifa" (a wound reaching the body cavity), one third part «(وقس على هذا)».
