Bayhaqi 16266 — All teeth are equal

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ، يَقُولُ: قَضَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي الْأَضْرَاسِ بِبَعِيرٍ بَعِيرٍ، وَقَضَى مُعَاوِيَةُ فِي الْأَضْرَاسِ ⦗١٥٩⦘ بِخَمْسَةِ أَبْعِرَةٍ، خَمْسَةِ أَبْعِرَةٍ، فَالدِّيَةُ تَنْقُصُ فِي قَضَاءِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَتَزِيدُ فِي قَضَاءِ مُعَاوِيَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَلَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا جَعَلْتُ فِي الْأَضْرَاسِ بَعِيرَيْنِ بَعِيرَيْنِ فَتِلْكَ الدِّيَةُ سَوَاءٌ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: فَقَدْ خَالَفْتُمْ حَدِيثَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، وَقُلْتُمْ فِي الْأَضْرَاسِ خَمْسٌ خَمْسٌ، وَهَكَذَا نَقُولُ لِمَا جَاءَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فِي السِّنِّ خَمْسٌ " وَكَانَتِ الضِّرْسُ سِنًّا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَقَدْ رَوَى جَابِرٌ الْجُعْفِيُّ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ شُرَيْحٍ وَمَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: الْأَسْنَانُ سَوَاءٌ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: الْأَسْنَانُ سَوَاءٌ، الضِّرْسُ وَالثَّنِيَّةُ.
Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled one camel for a molar, and Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled five camels. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) set the diyah lower and Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) set it higher. Had it been me, I would have set two camels for each. Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: You have contradicted the hadith of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and you say that for a molar there are five camels; this is also what has come from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "For a tooth there are five," and a molar is also a tooth.
The Shaykh said: It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that all teeth are equal, and al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) also reported from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that teeth, whether front teeth or molars, are all equal.
