نَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، نَا أَبُو مُوسَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَثْنَى ، نَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ ، نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، " أَنَّ رَجُلا قَتَلَ رَجُلا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دِيَتَهُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا ، وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ : إِلا أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ سورة التوبة آية 74 بِأَخْذِهِمُ الدِّيَةَ " .
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: In the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), a man killed another man, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set his blood money at twelve thousand dirhams. This is what is meant by Allah Almighty’s statement: “Except in the case when Allah and His Messenger enrich them out of His bounty.” That is, those people will become wealthy by receiving the blood money.
