[Machine] The value of the blood money during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was 800 dinars or 8,000 dirhams. The blood money of the people of the Book at that time was half of the blood money of the Muslims. This remained the case until the caliphate of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). He mentioned his sermon on raising the blood money when the prices of camels increased. He said, "He left the blood money of the people of the Dhimma (non-Muslims living under Islamic rule) without raising it, while he raised the blood money. It is possible that his statement 'half of the blood money of the Muslims' refers to 8,000 dirhams, so his blood money during the time of the Prophet ﷺ was 4,000 dirhams, and Umar did not raise it. His knowledge was that it was at the time of the People of the Book as a timing, and in the Islamic community as a calendar."

abudawud:4542 – Yaḥyá b. Ḥakīm > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. ʿUthmān > Ḥusayn al-Muʿallim > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

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.
