51. Chapter
٥١۔ كِتَابُ الدِّيَاتِ
[Machine] The wise woman cannot be reasoned with, and logic does not comprehend her except in one-third of the religion and beyond.
لَا تَعْقِلُ الْعَاقِلَةُ وَلَا يَعُمُّهَا الْعَقْلُ إِلَّا فِي ثُلُثِ الدِّيَةِ فَصَاعِدًا كَذَا
[Machine] Because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ carried it, it indicated that it was easier to carry. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a judgment regarding the fetus without taking into consideration the person's intelligence, and this is half of the penalty.
لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا حَمَّلَهَا الْأَكْثَرَ دَلَّ عَلَى تَحْمِيلِهَا الْأَيْسَرَ قَالَ وَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْجَنِينِ بِغُرَّةٍ وَقَضَى بِهِ عَلَى الْعَاقِلَةِ وَذَلِكَ نِصْفُ عُشْرِ الدِّيَةِ
a man of Hudhail had two wives, and one of them threw a tent pole at the o0ther and caused her to miscarry. It was said: "What do you think of one who neither ate nor drank, or shouted nor cried (at the moment of birth)?" he said: (Rhyming verse like the verse of the Bedouins. "And the Messenger of Allah ruled that a make or female slave shouted be given (as dihahj) for him (the unborn child), to be paid but the'Aqila h of the woman. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4826)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ كَانَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتَانِ فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ فَأَسْقَطَتْ فَقِيلَ أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا صَاحَ وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ فَقِيلَ أَسَجْعٌ كَسَجْعِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟ قَالَ فَقَضَى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِغُرَّةٍ وَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى عَاقِلَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ
[Machine] That the gurrah is worth fifty dinars or six hundred dirhams
أَنَّ الْغُرَّةَ تُقَوَّمُ خَمْسِينَ دِينَارًا أَوْ سِتَّمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ
[Machine] To rationalize, the rational person should take into consideration the third, ascending measurement. We said that the ancient (opinion) could be one that is followed and its statement is binding, and it could be from the rulers who are not to be followed and their statement is not binding. So, do we abandon certainty that the Prophet ﷺ decided upon half the value of the blood money with a conjecture?
أَنْ تَعْقِلَ الْعَاقِلَةُ الثُّلُثَ فَصَاعِدًا قُلْنَا الْقَدِيمُ قَدْ يَكُونُ مِمَّنْ يُقْتَدَى بِهِ وَيَلْزَمُ قَوْلُهُ وَيَكُونُ مِنَ الْوُلَاةِ الَّذِينَ لَا يُقْتَدَى بِهِمْ وَلَا يَلْزَمُ قَوْلُهُمْ أَفَنَتْرُكُ الْيَقِينَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَضَى بِنِصْفِ عُشْرِ الدِّيَةِ عَلَى الْعَاقِلَةِ بِظَنٍّ؟
