There are three types of killing: 1- Intentional killing (qatl ‘amd):
That is, deliberately using such a weapon by which killing generally occurs.
In this case, retribution (qisas) is taken from the killer.
2. Accidental killing (qatl khata’):
That is, killing occurs by mistake.
In the above hadith, the blood money (diyah) for this type of killing is mentioned.
