Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the verdict that the blood money (diyah) for accidental killing is the payment of one hundred camels, of which twenty will be hiqqah, twenty jadh’ah, twenty bint labun, twenty bint makhad, and twenty ibn makhad. This hadith is weak, and according to the experts of hadith, it is not established in several respects. One reason is that this narration contradicts the narration transmitted by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud’s (may Allah be pleased with him) son, Abu Ubaidah, with an authentic chain, a chain that cannot be criticized, and this narration cannot be interpreted otherwise. Abu Ubaidah is more knowledgeable about the hadith narrated by his father, his school of thought, and his fatwa than Khushaf bin Malik and others like him. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was extremely God-fearing and very firm in his religion; it cannot be expected of him that he would narrate a report from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave such a verdict and then issue a fatwa contrary to it. Such a thing cannot even be imagined about a personality like Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). In fact, when a certain issue was presented before him, he replied: “I have not heard anything from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this, nor do I have any knowledge of any narration from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter. Therefore, I will present my own opinion in this issue; if it is correct, then it is from Allah and His Messenger, and if there is any mistake in it, then it is from myself.” Later, when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) learned that the fatwa he had given on this issue was in accordance with the verdict of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his companions saw that he was so pleased that his fatwa matched the verdict of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and his companions had never seen him so happy before. So, how can it be correct about someone with such a quality and state that he would narrate a report from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and then issue a fatwa contrary to it? This is also supported by the narration transmitted by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud’s (may Allah be pleased with him) son, Abu Ubaidah, and this narration has been transmitted by Waki’, Abdullah bin Wahb, and other hadith scholars from Sufyan Thawri, Mansur, and Ibrahim Nakha’i regarding Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The payment of blood money (diyah) for accidental killing will be in the form of five types of camels.
