حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِىُّ أَخْبَرَنَا حَبَّانُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ هِلاَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا دُفِعَ إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَقْتُولِ فَإِنْ شَاءُوا قَتَلُوا وَإِنْ شَاءُوا أَخَذُوا الدِّيَةَ وَهِىَ ثَلاَثُونَ حِقَّةً وَثَلاَثُونَ جَذَعَةً وَأَرْبَعُونَ خَلِفَةً وَمَا صَالَحُوا عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ لَهُمْ. وَذَلِكَ لِتَشْدِيدِ الْعَقْلِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "Whoever intentionally kills a believer is to be handed over to the inheritors of the murder victim. If they want, they may have him (1) put to death; or if they want, they may take the blood money, which is: thirty four-year-old camels, thirty five-year-old camels, and forty pregnant camels. And they have the right to whatever conciliation they agree upon (2)." Footnotes: (1)Masculine pronouns are generally used in Arabic as a means for referring to both men and women when the meaning is left general and is not otherwise specified. (2) This is an indication that to settle the issue, they may ask for other things apart from the blood money or accept a reduced amount thereof. Click on ḥadīth to read more
