49. Book of Blood Money
٤٩۔ كِتَابُ الدِّيَاتِ
ذِكْرُ تَفَضُّلِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ عِنْدَ الْقَتْلِ بِإِعْطَاءِ الدِّيَةِ عَنْهُ
[Machine] Before you, it was customary for people to take revenge by killing the killer, and no blood money was accepted from the killer. Then, Allah revealed the verse {O you who have believed, prescribed for you is legal retribution for those murdered} till the end of the verse {that is a concession from your Lord and a mercy}. He said: "So He lightened from you what was upon those before you, which is the blood money that was not accepted. So whoever gives blood money, that is an act of forgiveness and a means of good conduct. And it is to be given to him by his brother in a good manner."
«كَانَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ يَقْتُلُونَ الْقَاتِلَ بِالْقَتِيلِ لَا تُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ الدِّيَةُ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَى} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ {ذَلِكَ تَخْفِيفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ} يَقُولُ «فَخَفَّفَ عَنْكُمْ مَا كَانَ عَلَى مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ أَيِ الدِّيَةَ لَمْ تَكُنْ تُقْبَلُ فَالَّذِي يَقْبَلُ الدِّيَةَ فَذَلِكَ عَفْوٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيُؤَدِّي إِلَيْهِ الَّذِي عُفِيَ مِنْ أَخِيهِ بِإِحْسَانٍ»
ذِكْرُ وَصْفِ الدِّيَةِ فِي قَتِيلِ الْخَطَإِ الَّذِي يُشْبِهُ الْعَمْدَ
[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Mecca, he said, "There is no god but Allah, His promise is true, and He has granted victory to His servant, and He alone has defeated the confederates. Behold, every trace of veneration beneath my feet, except for Al-Siddanah and Al-Siqayah. Indeed, the killer of a mistake is like the killer of intentional sin, and the blood money for a whip and a stick is a severe liability, with forty of its offspring in its belly."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمَّا افْتَتَحَ مَكَّةَ قَالَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ صَدَقَ وَعْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ أَلَا إِنَّ كُلَّ مَأْثُرَةٍ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ إِلَّا السِّدَانَةَ وَالسِّقَايَةَ أَلَا إِنَّ قَتِيلَ الْخَطَإِ شِبْهِ الْعَمْدِ قَتِيلَ السَّوْطِ وَالْعَصَا دِيَةٌ مُغَلَّظَةٌ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعُونَ فِي بُطُونِهَا أَوْلَادُهَا»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنَ الدِّيَةِ فِي قَطْعِ أَصَابِعِ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The blood-money for the fingers on the hands and (the toes of) the feet is the same: Ten camels for each finger." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1391)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «دِيَةُ الْيَدَيْنِ وَالرِّجْلَيْنِ سَوَاءٌ عَشَرَةٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ لِكُلِّ أُصْبُعٍ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِاسْتِوَاءِ الْأَصَابِعِ عِنْدَ قَطْعِهَا فِي الْحُكْمِ بِأَنَّ فِي كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا عَشْرًا مِنَ الْإِبِلِ
[Machine] From the Prophetﷺ he said, "The fingers are equal." I asked, "Ten, ten?" He said, "Yes."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْأَصَابِعُ سَوَاءٌ» قُلْتُ عَشْرٌ عَشْرٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»
ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِاسْتِوَاءِ الْأَسْنَانِ عِنْدَ قَلْعِهَا فِي الْحُكْمِ بِأَنَّ فِي كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا خَمْسَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: The teeth are equal, and the fingers are equal. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4560)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْأَسْنَانُ سَوَاءٌ وَالْأَصَابِعُ سَوَاءٌ»
ذِكْرُ اسْتِوَاءِ الْخِنْصَرِ وَالْبِنْصَرِ فِي أَخْذِ الْأَرْشِ بِهَا
“The fingers are the same.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2654)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْأَصَابِعُ سَوَاءٌ هَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ»
