باب: من قال: لا تحمل العاقلة عمدا ولا عبدا ولا صلحا ولا اعترافا
Chapter: Those who said: The aqilah does not bear deliberate killing, a slave, a settlement or a confession
Bayhaqi 16363 — Those who said: The aqilah does not bear deliberate
قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَضَتِ السُّنَّةُ أَنَّ الْعَاقِلَةَ لَا تَحْمِلُ شَيْئًا مِنْ دِيَةِ الْعَمْدِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُعِينَهُ الْعَاقِلَةُ عَنْ طِيبِ النَّفْسِ قَالَ مَالِكٌ: وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ يَحْيَى: وَلَمْ أُدْرِكِ النَّاسَ إِلَّا عَلَى ذَلِكَ.
Al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Sunnah has been established that there is no diyah (blood money) upon the 'aqilah (paternal kinsmen) in deliberate killing, except if they wish to pay it of their own goodwill. Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I have found the people upon this same position.
