" عَنْ ابْنِ المُسَيَّب أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّاب قَالَ: مَا أَدَّى الدِّيَةَ إِلَّا العَصَبَةُ، لأنَّهُمْ يَعْقلُونَ عَنْه، فَهَلْ سَمِعَ أَحَدٌ منْكُمْ مِنْ رَسُول الله ﷺ فِى ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا؟ فَقالَ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ الكِلاَبِىُّ - وَكان النَّبىُّ ﷺ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ عَلَى الأَعْرَابِ - كَتَبَ إِلىَّ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ أَنْ أوَرِّث امْرأَةَ أَشْيَمَ الضِّبابِّى مِنْ دِيَةِ زَوْجها وَكَانَ قُتِلَ خَطَأ، فَأخَذَ بِذَلِكَ عُمَرُ".

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Umar ibn al- Khattab demanded of the people at Mina, "If anyone has knowledge of blood-money, let him inform me." Ad-Dahhak ibn Sufyan al-Kilabi stood up and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to me that the wife of Ashyam ad-Dibabi inherited from the blood-money of her husband." Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "Go into the tent until I come to you." When Umar ibn al-Khattab came in, ad-Dahhak told him about it and Umar ibn al-Khattab gave a decision based on that. Ibn Shihab said, "The killing of Ashyam was accidental."  

مالك:٤٣-٣٤حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ نَشَدَ النَّاسَ بِمِنًى مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمٌ مِنَ الدِّيَةِ أَنْ يُخْبِرَنِي فَقَامَ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ الْكِلاَبِيُّ فَقَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ أُوَرِّثَ امْرَأَةَ أَشْيَمَ الضِّبَابِيِّ مِنْ دِيَةِ زَوْجِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ادْخُلِ الْخِبَاءَ حَتَّى آتِيَكَ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَخْبَرَهُ الضَّحَّاكُ فَقَضَى بِذَلِكَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَكَانَ قَتْلُ أَشْيَمَ خَطَأً

[Machine] I do not see the ransom except for the tribe, because they understand it. Has anyone of you heard anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this matter? Al-Dhahhak ibn Sufyan al-Kilabi said, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to employ him to deal with the Bedouins. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to me that I should inherit the woman from Asyam al-Dhababi from her husband's ransom. Umar ibn al-Khattab took that into account.

[Machine] I do not see the diya (blood money) except for the close relatives because they understand it. Is there anyone among you who has knowledge about this from the Messenger of Allah? Al-Dhahhak bin Sufyan al-Kalbi replied, and the Messenger of Allah used to send him to the Bedouins, "The Messenger of Allah wrote to me that I should give the wife of Ashyam al-Dhibaabi from the diyat (blood money) of her husband." Omar (RA) implemented that.
