Chapter on Actions Regarding Compensation for Teeth
Hadith 1517
وَحَدَّثَنِي وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي غَطَفَانَ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ الْمُرِّيِّ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ , أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَسْأَلُهُ : مَاذَا فِي الضِّرْسِ ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : " فِيهِ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ "، قَالَ : فَرَدَّنِي مَرْوَانُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقَالَ : أَتَجْعَلُ مُقَدَّمَ الْفَمِ مِثْلَ الْأَضْرَاسِ ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : " لَوْ لَمْ تَعْتَبِرْ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا بِالْأَصَابِعِ عَقْلُهَا سَوَاءٌ "
It is narrated from Abu Ghatfan bin Tarif that Marwan bin Hakam sent him to Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) to ask what is the compensation (diyah) for a molar tooth. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: It is five camels. Marwan then sent him again and asked: Are the front teeth and the molars equal in compensation? Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: If you had compared the teeth to the fingers, it would have been sufficient; the compensation for each finger is the same (even though the benefit of some is less and some is more, likewise, all teeth and molars are equal).
Hadith 1518
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ " يُسَوِّي بَيْنَ الْأَسْنَانِ فِي الْعَقْلِ وَلَا يُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ " .
Hazrat Urwah bin Zubair used to say that in earlier times, the blood money for all teeth was equal; none was greater than the other.
Hadith 1518B1
قَالَ مَالِك : وَالْأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا أَنَّ مُقَدَّمَ الْفَمِ وَالْأَضْرَاسِ وَالْأَنْيَابِ عَقْلُهَا سَوَاءٌ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي السِّنِّ : " خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ "، وَالضِّرْسُ سِنٌّ مِنَ الْأَسْنَانِ، لَا يَفْضُلُ بَعْضُهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, the ruling is that the teeth, the canine teeth, and the molars are all equal, because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prescribed five camels for each tooth; the molar is also a tooth.
