[Machine] The blood money (compensation) for a free Muslim during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is one hundred camels. Umar ibn al-Khattab increased this compensation to one thousand dinars or twelve thousand dirhams for towns and villages. Abu Sa'eed stated in his narration that if the person responsible for the crime is from the Bedouin, their blood money is one hundred camels and they are not obliged to pay in gold or silver.  

أَنَّ دِيَةَ الْمُسْلِمِ الْحُرِّ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِائَةٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَقَوَّمَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ تِلْكَ الدِّيَةَ عَلَى الْقُرَى أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ أَوِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ زَادَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانَ الَّذِي أَصَابَهُ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَدِيَتُهُ مِائَةٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ لَا يُكَلَّفُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ الذَّهَبَ وَلَا الْوَرِقَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to assess the value of a camel in the villages at four hundred dinars or its equivalent in paper currency, and he would divide it by the eight parts of the camel. When the value increased, he would raise its price, and when it decreased, he would reduce it to the people of the villages.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُقِيمُ الْإِبِلِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقُرَى أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ أَوْ عِدْلَهَا مِنَ الْوَرِقِ وَيَقْسِمُهَا عَلَى أَثْمَانِ الْإِبِلِ فَإِذَا غَلَتْ رَفَعَ فِي قِيمَتِهَا وَإِذَا هَانَتْ نَقَصَ مِنْ ثَمَنِهَا عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقُرَى الثَّمَنَ مَا كَانَ  

[Machine] Abu Bakr spent on the people of the villages when wealth became abundant and the price of camels rose. He bought one hundred camels for six hundred to eight hundred dinars.  

قَضَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقُرَى حِينَ كَثُرَ الْمَالُ وَغَلَتِ الْإِبِلِ فَأَقَامَ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ بِسِتِّمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ إِلَى ثَمَانِمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ  

[Machine] He used to say about all people, whether they are from towns or from the desert, that a hundred camels are worth the Bedouin and the townsmen.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ عَلَى النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى وَأَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ مِائَةٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ عَلَى الْأَعْرَابِيِّ وَالْقَرَوِيِّ  

[Machine] The camels belonged to Umar ibn Al-Khattab until he took care of the camels at the age of twenty. He maintained a herd of twenty hundred camels. If a villager wanted, he would give him a hundred female camels, but he would not give them gold. That was the first order.  

كَانَتِ الْإِبِلِ حَتَّى كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَوَّمَ الْإِبِلِ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةً كُلٌّ بَعِيرٌ فَإِنْ شَاءَ الْقَرَوِيُّ أَعْطَى مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ وَلَمْ يُعْطِ ذَهَبًا كَذَلِكَ الْأَمْرُ الْأَوَّلُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to establish the compensation for wrongdoing on the people of the villages at four hundred dinars or its equivalent in paper money, and he would establish it based on the value of camels. If the value increased, he would raise it, and if it decreased, he would reduce it. During the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it reached between four hundred and eight hundred dinars or its equivalent in paper money, which is eight thousand. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled in favor of the people of cows with two hundred cows, and whoever's compensation is in sheep, it is one thousand sheep.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُقَوِّمُ دِيَةَ الْخَطَأِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقُرَى أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ أَوْ عِدْلَهَا مِنَ الْوَرِقِ وَيُقَوِّمُهَا عَلَى أَثْمَانِ الْإِبِلِ فَإِذَا غَلَتْ رَفَعَ فِي قِيمَتِهَا وَإِذَا هَانَتْ رَخَّصَ نَقَصَ مِنْ قِيمَتِهَا وَبَلَغَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَا بَيْنَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ إِلَى ثَمَانِمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ أَوْ عِدْلَهَا مِنَ الْوَرِقِ ثَمَانيَةِ آلَافٍ وَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقَرِ مِائَتَيْ بَقَرَةٍ وَمَنْ كَانَ دِيَةُ عَقْلِهِ فِي شَاءٍ فَأَلْفَا شَاةٍ  

On his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported that the value of the blood-money at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was eight hundred dinars or eight thousand dirhams, and the blood-money for the people of the Book was half of that for Muslims. He said: This applied till Umar (Allah be pleased with him) became caliph and he made a speech in which he said: Take note! Camels have become dear. So Umar fixed the value for those who possessed gold at one thousand dinars, for those who possessed silver at twelve thousand (dirhams), for those who possessed cattle at two hundred cows, for those who possessed sheep at two thousand sheep, and for those who possessed suits of clothing at two hundred suits. He left the blood-money for dhimmis (protected people) as it was, not raising it in proportion to the increase he made in the blood-wit. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4542)   

كَانَتْ قِيمَةُ الدِّيَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَمَانَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ ثَمَانِيَةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ وَدِيَةُ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ يَوْمَئِذٍ النِّصْفُ مِنْ دِيَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْإِبِلَ قَدْ غَلَتْ قَالَ فَفَرَضَهَا عُمَرُ ؓ عَلَى أَهْلِ الذَّهَبِ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْوَرِقِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقَرِ مِائَتَيْ بَقَرَةٍ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الشَّاءِ أَلْفَيْ شَاةٍ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْحُلَلِ مِائَتَيْ حُلَّةٍ قَالَ وَتَرَكَ دِيَةَ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ لَمْ يَرْفَعْهَا فِيمَا رَفَعَ مِنَ الدِّيَةِ  

[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made a ruling regarding the major blood money and mentioned it, as well as the minor blood money. Then, after the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), camel prices increased and dirhams became less valuable. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) assessed the value of a camel for the major blood money at six thousand dirhams, according to the Uqiyyah measurement, and a half for each camel. Then, camel prices increased even more and dirhams became even less valuable, so Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) increased it to two thousand for each camel. Then, camel prices increased again and dirhams become even less valuable, so Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) established it at twelve thousand dirhams, according to three Awq measurements for each camel. And a third of the blood money is added during the sacred month, and another third for the sacred land. It is said that the blood money of the two holy sanctuaries was completed at twenty thousand. It is also said that it was taken from the people of the desert from their livestock, as they were not required to pay with paper or gold. And from each community, the value of justice was taken from their wealth.  

إِنَّ مِنْ قَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى فِي الدِّيَةِ الْكُبْرَى فَذَكَرَهَا وَذَكَرَ الدِّيَةَ الصُّغْرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ ثُمَّ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهَانَتِ الدَّرَاهِمُ فَقَوَّمَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِبِلَ الدِّيَةِ سِتَّةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ حِسَابَ أُوقِيَّةٍ وَنِصْفٍ لِكُلِّ بَعِيرٍ ثُمَّ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ وَهَانَتِ الدَّرَاهِمُ فَزَادَ عُمَرُ ؓ أَلْفَيْنِ حِسَابَ أُوقِيَّتَيْنِ لِكُلِّ بَعِيرٍ ثُمَّ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ وَهَانَتِ الدَّرَاهِمُ فَأَقَامَهَا عُمَرُ ؓ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ حِسَابَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَوَاقٍ بِكُلِّ بَعِيرٍ وَيُزَادُ ثُلُثُ الدِّيَةِ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ وَثُلُثٌ آخَرُ لِلْبَلَدِ الْحَرَامِ قَالَ فَتَمَّتْ دِيَةُ الْحَرَمَيْنِ عِشْرِينَ أَلْفًا قَالَ وَكَانَ يُقَالُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ مِنْ مَاشِيَتِهِمْ لَا يُكَلَّفُونَ الْوَرِقَ وَلَا الذَّهَبَ وَيُؤْخَذُ مِنْ كُلِّ قَوْمٍ مِنْ مَالِهِمْ قِيمَةُ الْعِدْلِ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ  

[Machine] The diya (blood money) during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was one hundred camels for each camel led by a rope. That is four thousand dirhams. When Umar became the caliph, the price of camels increased and the value of paper money decreased. Umar then set the price at two ropes for each camel, which is eight thousand dirhams. The price of camels continued to increase and the value of paper money continued to decrease until Umar set the price at twelve thousand pieces of paper or one thousand dinars for each camel, two hundred cows, and two thousand sheep.  

كَانَتِ الدِّيَةُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِائَةَ بَعِيرٍ لِكُلِّ بَعِيرٍ أُوقِيَّةٌ فَذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ وَرَخَصَتِ الْوَرِقُ فَجَعَلَهَا عُمَرُ ؓ أُوقِيَّتَيْنِ أُوقِيَّتَيْنِ فَذَلِكَ ثَمَانِيَةُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ لَمْ تَزَلِ الْإِبِلُ تغلَوْ وَيَرْخَصُ الْوَرِقُ حَتَّى جَعَلَهَا عُمَرُ ؓ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْوَرِقِ أَوْ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ وَمِنَ الْبَقَرِ مِائَتَيْ بَقَرَةٍ وَمِنَ الشَّاءِ أَلْفَيْ شَاةٍ  

[Machine] He (referring to someone) said: The value of that during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was four thousand dirhams of Uqiyya per camel. Then Umar adjusted it during his caliphate when the price of camels increased to six thousand and a half dirhams of Uqiyya per camel. Then Umar adjusted it again when the price of camels increased to eight thousand dirhams per camel. Then Umar adjusted it again when the price of camels increased to twelve thousand dirhams per camel. Ibn Shihab said: Umar ibn Al-Khattab adjusted the blood money for gold to one thousand dinars and the rulers after Umar affirmed it, using gold and silver for the people of the towns and the people of the desert. They would apply a hundred from camels. Ash-Shafi'i said: The blood money is only adjusted with dinars and dirhams, and it cannot be adjusted with anything else. The Sheikh said: It is narrated from Umar that it is possible that he adjusted it with something other than dinars and dirhams, out of the generosity of the wrongdoer and the guardian of the body. Allah knows best, and based on something similar to this, one should understand what is in the hadith that was...  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَتْ قِيمَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ أُوقِيَّةٌ لِكُلِّ بَعِيرٍ ثُمَّ قَوَّمَهَا عُمَرُ ؓ فِي خِلَافَتِهِ حِينَ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ سِتَّةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ أُوقِيَّةٌ وَنِصْفٌ لِكُلِّ بَعِيرٍ ثُمَّ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلِ فَقَوَّمَهَا عُمَرُ ؓ أُوقِيَّتَيْنِ لِكُلِّ بَعِيرٍ ثَمَانِيَةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ فَقَوَّمَهَا عُمَرُ ؓ ثَلَاثَةَ أَوَاقٍ لِكُلِّ بَعِيرٍ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَقَوَّمَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ الدِّيَةَ فِي الذَّهَبِ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ وَأَقَرَّهَا عَنْهُ الْأَئِمَّةُ بَعْدَ عُمَرَ ؓ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الذَّهَبُ وَالْوَرِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقُرَى وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ مِائَةٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ الدِّيَةُ لَا تُقَوَّمُ إِلَّا بِالدَّنَانِيرِ وَالدَّرَاهِمِ كَمَا لَا يُقَوَّمُ غَيْرُهَا إِلَّا بِهَا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَالَّذِي رُوِيَ عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ يَحْتَمِلُ أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا قَوَّمَهَا بِغَيْرِ الدَّرَاهِمِ وَالدَّنَانِيرِ بِرِضًا مِنَ الْجَانِي وَوَلِيِّ الْجِنَايَةِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَعَلَى مِثْلِ هَذَا يُحْمَلُ مَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ الَّذِي  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decided in the matter of the blood money, one hundred camels for the owners of camels, two hundred cows for the owners of cows, two thousand sheep for the owners of sheep, two hundred garments for the owners of jewelry, and something for the owners of wheat that Muhammad did not mention. And it was narrated to us by Abu Ali from Abu Bakr, who narrated from Abu Dawud, who said: I read it from Sa'id ibn Ya'qub al-Talaqani, who narrated from Abu Tumayla, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, who said: Ata' reported from Jabir ibn Abdullah, who said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made it obligatory and mentioned a similar hadith to that of Moses, and he said: 'For the owners of food, I do not preserve anything like this.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَضَى فِي الدِّيَةِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْإِبِلِ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقَرِ مِائَتَيْ بَقَرَةٍ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الشَّاءِ أَلْفَيْ شَاةٍ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْحُلَلِ مِائَتَيْ حُلَّةٍ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْقَمْحِ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَحْفَظْهُ مُحَمَّدٌ 16176 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الطَّالَقَانِيِّ ثنا أَبُو تُمَيْلَةَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ ذَكَرَ عَطَاءٌ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ مُوسَى فَقَالَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الطَّعَامِ شَيْئًا لَا أَحْفَظُ كَذَا
