Blood Money (Ad-Diyat)

Blood Money (Ad-Diyat)










Volume 9, Book 83, Number 1:

Narrated 'Abdullah:

A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Which sin is the greatest in
Allah's
Sight?" The Prophet said, "To set up a rival unto Allah though He
Alone created you . " The man said, "What is next?" The Prophet
said,
"To kill your son lest he should share your food with you." The man

said, "What is next?" The Prophet said, "To commit illegal sexual
intercourse with the wife of your neighbor." So Allah revealed in
confirmation of this narration:--

'And those who invoke not with Allah, any other god. Nor kill, such

life as Allah has forbidden except for just cause nor commit
illegal
sexual intercourse. And whoever does this shall receive the
punishment.' (25.68)

and
we have a fight, and he strikes my hand with the sword and cuts it
off, and then takes refuge from me under a tree, and says, 'I have
surrendered to Allah (i.e. embraced Islam),' may I kill him after
he
has said so?" Allah's Apostle said, "Do not kill him." Al-Miqdad
said,
"But O Allah's Apostle! He had chopped off one of my hands and he
said
that after he had cut it off. May I kill him?" The Prophet said.
"Do
not kill him for if you kill him, he would be in the position in
which
you had been before you kill him, and you would be in the position
in
which he was before he said the sentence." The Prophet also said to

Al-Miqdad, "If a faithful believer conceals his faith (Islam) from
the
disbelievers, and then when he declares his Islam, you kill him,
(you
will be sinful). Remember that you were also concealing your faith
(Islam) at Mecca before."

Shu'ba

Allah's Apostle sent us (to fight) against Al-Huraqa (one of the
sub-tribes) of Juhaina. We reached those people in the morning and
defeated them. A man from the Ansar and I chased one of their men
and
when we attacked him, he said, "None has the right to be worshipped

but Allah." The Ansari refrained from killing him but I stabbed him

with my spear till I killed him. When we reached (Medina), this
news
reached the Prophet. He said to me, "O Usama! You killed him after
he
had said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah?"' I said,
"O
Allah's Apostle! He said so in order to save himself." The Prophet
said, "You killed him after he had said, 'None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah." The Prophet kept on repeating that statement

till I wished I had not been a Muslim before that day.

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 12:

I was among those Naqibs (selected leaders) who gave the Pledge of

we
would not join partners in worship besides Allah, would not steal,
would not commit illegal sexual intercourse, would not kill a life
which Allah has forbidden, would not commit robbery, would not
disobey
(Allah and His Apostle), and if we fulfilled this pledge we would

that man." He said, "Go back, for I heard Allah's Apostle saying,
'If
two Muslims meet each other with their swords then (both) the
killer
and the killed one are in the (Hell) Fire.' I said, 'O Allah's
Apostle! It is alright for the killer, but what about the killed
one?'
He said, 'The killed one was eager to kill his opponent."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 15:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

A Jew crushed the head of a girl between two stones, and the girl
was
asked, "Who has done that to you, so-and-so or so and so?" (Some
names
were mentioned for her) till the name of that Jew was mentioned
(whereupon she agreed). The Jew was brought to the Prophet and the
Prophet kept on questioning him till he confessed, whereupon his
head
was crushed with stones.

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 16:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

A girl wearing ornaments, went out at Medina. Somebody struck her
with
a stone. She was brought to the Prophet while she was still alive.
Allah's Apostle asked her, "Did such-and-such a person strike you?"

She raised her head, denying that. He asked her a second time,
saying,
"Did so-and-so strike you?" She raised her head, denying that. He
said
for the third time, "Did so-and-so strike you?" She lowered her
head,
agreeing. Allah's Apostle then sent for the killer and killed him
between two stones.

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 17:

Narrated 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that
none
has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle,

cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a
married
person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who
reverts
from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 18:

Narrated Anas:

A Jew killed a girl so that he may steal her ornaments. He struck
her
with a stone, and she was brought to the Prophet while she was
still
alive. The Prophet asked her, "Did such-and-such person strike
you?"
She gestured with her head, expressing denial. He asked her for the

second time, and she again gestured with her head, expressing
denial.
When he asked her for the third time, she beckoned, "Yes." So the
Prophet killed him (the Jew) with two stones.

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 19:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

In the year of the Conquest of Mecca, the tribe of Khuza'a killed a

man from the tribe of Bam Laith in revenge for a killed person
belonging to them in the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance. So
Allah's
Apostle got up saying, "Allah held back the (army having) elephants

from Mecca, but He let His Apostle and the believers overpower the
infidels (of Mecca). Beware! (Mecca is a sanctuary)! Verily!
Fighting
in Mecca was not permitted for anybody before me, nor will it be
permitted for anybody after me; It was permitted for me only for a
while (an hour or so) of that day. No doubt! It is at this moment a

sanctuary; its thorny shrubs should not be uprooted; its trees
should
not be cut down; and its Luqata (fallen things) should not be
picked
up except by the one who would look for its owner. And if somebody
is
killed, his closest relative has the right to choose one of two
things, i.e., either the Blood money or retaliation by having the
killer killed." Then a man from Yemen, called Abu Shah, stood up
and
said, "Write that) for me, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle said

(to his companions), "Write that for Abu Shah." Then another man
from
Quraish got up, saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Except Al-Idhkhir (a
special kind of grass) as we use it in our houses and for graves."
Allah's Apostle said, "Except Al-idhkkir."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 20:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

For the children of Israel the punishment for crime was Al-Qisas
only
(i.e., the law of equality in punishment) and the payment of Blood
money was not permitted as an alternate. But Allah said to this
nation
(Muslims): 'O you who believe! Qisas is prescribed for you in case
of
murder, .....(up to) ...end of the Verse. (2.178)

Ibn 'Abbas added: Remission (forgiveness) in this Verse, means to
accept the Blood-money in an intentional murder. Ibn 'Abbas added:
The
Verse: 'Then the relatives should demand Blood-money in a
reasonable
manner.' (2.178) means that the demand should be reasonable and
it
is to be compensated with handsome gratitude.

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 21:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said, "The most hated persons to Allah are three: (1) A

person who deviates from the right conduct, i.e., an evil doer, in
the
Haram (sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina); (2) a person who seeks
that
the traditions of the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance, should
remain
in Islam (3) and a person who seeks to shed somebody's blood
without
any right."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 22:

Narrated 'Aisha:

The pagans were defeated on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. Satan
shouted among the people on the day of Uhud, "O Allah's
worshippers!
Beware of what is behind you!" So the front file of the army
attacked
the back files (mistaking them for the enemy) till they killed
Al-Yaman. Hudhaifa (bin Al-Yaman) shouted, "My father!" My father!
But
they killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you." (The
narrator
added: Some of the defeated pagans fled till they reached Taif.)

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 23:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

A Jew crushed the head of a girl between two stones. It was said to

her. "Who has done this to you, such-and-such person, such-and-such

person?" When the name of the Jew was mentioned, she nodded with
her
head, agreeing. So the Jew was brought and he confessed. The
Prophet
ordered that his head be crushed with the stones. (Hammam said,
"with
two stones.")

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 24:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet killed a Jew for killing a girl in order to take her
orna

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 25:

Narrated 'Aisha:

We poured medicine into the mouth of the Prophet during his
ailment.
He said, "Don't pour medicine into my mouth." (We thought he said
that) out of the aversion a patient usually has for medicines. When
he
improved and felt better he said, "There is none of you but will be

forced to drink medicine, except Al-'Abbas, for he did not witness
your deed."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 26:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

That he heard Allah's Apostle saying, "We (Muslims) are the last
(to
come) but (will be) the foremost (on the Day of Resurrection)." And

added, "If someone is peeping (looking secretly) into your house
without your permission, and you throw a stone at him and destroy
his
eyes, there will be no blame on you."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 27:

Narrated Yahya:

Humaid said, "A man peeped into the house of the Prophet and the
Prophet aimed an arrow head at him to hit him." I asked, "Who told
you
that?" He said, "Anas bin Malik" (See Hadith No. 258 and 259, Vol.
8)

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 28:

Narrated 'Aisha:

"When it was the day of (the battle of) Uhud, the pagans were
defeated. Then Satan shouted, "O Allah's worshipers! Beware of what
is
behind you!" So the front files attacked the back files of the
army.
Hudhaifa looked, and behold, there was his father, Al-Yaman (being
attacked) ! He shouted (to his companions), "O Allah's worshipers,
my
father, my father!" But by Allah, they did not stop till they
killed
him (i.e., Hudhaifa's father). Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive
you."
('Urwa said, Hudhaifa continued asking Allah's Forgiveness for the
killer of his father till he died.

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 29:

Narrated Salama:

We went out with the Prophet to Khaibar. A man (from the
companions)
said, "O 'Amir! Let us hear some of your Huda (camel-driving
songs.)"
So he sang some of them (i.e. a lyric in harmony with the camels
walk). The Prophet said, "Who is the driver (of these camels)?"
They
said, "Amir." The Prophet said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on him
!"
The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Would that you let us enjoy
his
company longer!" Then 'Amir was killed the following morning. The
people said, "The good deeds of 'Amir are lost as he has killed
himself." I returned at the time while they were talking about
that. I
went to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Prophet! Let my father be
sacrificed for you! The people claim that 'Amir's good deeds are
lost." The Prophet said, "Whoever says so is a liar, for 'Amir will

have a double reward as he exerted himself to obey Allah and fought
in
Allah's Cause. No other way of killing would have granted him
greater
reward."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 30:

Narrated 'Imran bin Husain:

A man bit another man's hand and the latter pulled his hand out of
his
mouth by force, causing two of his incisors (teeth) to fall out.
They
submitted their case to the Prophet, who said, "One of you bit his
brother as a male camel bites. (Go away), there is no Diya
(Blood-money) for you."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 31:

Narrated Ya'la:

I went out in one of the Ghazwa and a man bit another man and as a
result, an incisor tooth of the former was pulled out. The Prophet
cancelled the case.

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 32:

Narrated Anas:

The daughter of An-Nadr slapped a girl and broke her incisor tooth.

They (the relatives of that girl), came to the Prophet and he gave
the
order of Qisas (equality in punishment).

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 33:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said, "This and this are the same." He meant the little

finger and the thumb.

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 34:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

I heard the Prophet (saying the same as above Hadith 34).

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 35:

Narrated 'Aisha:

We poured medicine into the mouth of Allah's Apostle during his
illness, and he pointed out to us intending to say, "Don't pour
medicine into my mouth." We thought that his refusal was out of the

aversion a patient usually has for medicine. When he improved and
felt
a bit better he said (to us.) "Didn't I forbid you to pour medicine

into my mouth?" We said, "We thought (you did so) because of the
aversion, one usually have for medicine." Allah's Apostle said,
"There
is none of you but will be forced to drink medicine, and I will
watch
you, except Al-'Abbas, for he did not witness this act of yours."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 36:

Narrated Sahl bin Abi Hathma:

(a man from the Ansar) that a number of people from his tribe went
to
Khaibar and dispersed, and then they found one of them murdered.
They
said to the people with whom the corpse had been found, "You have
killed our companion!" Those people said, "Neither have we killed
him,
nor do we know his killer." The bereaved group went to the Prophet
and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! We went to Khaibar and found one of us
murdered." The Prophet said, "Let the older among you come forward
and
speak." Then the Prophet said, to them, "Bring your proof against
the
killer." They said "We have no proof." The Prophet said, "Then they

(the defendants) will take an oath." They said, "We do not accept
the
oaths of the Jews." Allah's Apostle did not like that the
Blood-money
of the killed one be lost without compensation, so he paid
one-hundred
camels out of the camels of Zakat (to the relatives of the
deceased)
as Diya (Blood-money).

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 37:

Narrated Abu Qilaba:

Once 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz sat on his throne in the courtyard of
his
house so that the people might gather before him. Then he admitted
them and (when they came in), he said, "What do you think of
Al-Qasama?" They said, "We say that it is lawful to depend on
Al-Qasama in Qisas, as the previous Muslim Caliphs carried out
Qisas
depending on it." Then he said to me, "O Abu Qilaba! What do you
say
about it?" He let me appear before the people and I said, "O Chief
of
the Believers! You have the chiefs of the army staff and the nobles
of
the Arabs. If fifty of them testified that a married man had
committed
illegal sexual intercourse in Damascus but they had not seen him
(doing so), would you stone him?" He said, "No." I said, "If fifty
of
them testified that a man had committed theft in Hums, would you
cut
off his hand though they did not see him?" He replied, "No." I
said,
"By Allah, Allah's Apostle never killed anyone except in one of the

following three situations: (1) A person who killed somebody
unjustly,
was killed (in Qisas,) (2) a married person who committed illegal
sexual intercourse and (3) a man who fought against Allah and His
Apostle and deserted Islam and became an apostate." Then the people

said, "Didn't Anas bin Malik narrate that Allah's Apostle cut off
the
hands of the thieves, branded their eyes and then, threw them in
the
sun?" I said, "I shall tell you the narration of Anas. Anas said:
"Eight persons from the tribe of 'Ukl came to Allah's Apostle and
gave
the Pledge of allegiance for Islam (became Muslim). The climate of
the
place (Medina) did not suit them, so they became sick and
complained
about that to Allah's Apostle. He said (to them ), "Won't you go
out
with the shepherd of our camels and drink of the camels' milk and
urine (as medicine)?" They said, "Yes." So they went out and drank
the
camels' milk and urine, and after they became healthy, they killed
the
shepherd of Allah's Apostle and took away all the camels. This news

reached Allah's Apostle , so he sent (men) to follow their traces
and
they were captured and brought (to the Prophet). He then ordered to

cut their hands and feet, and their eyes were branded with heated
pieces of iron, and then he threw them in the sun till they died." I

said, "What can be worse than what those people did? They deserted
Islam, committed murder and theft."

Then 'Anbasa bin Said said, "By Allah, I never heard a narration
like
this of today." I said, "O 'Anbasa! You deny my narration?" 'Anbasa

said, "No, but you have related the narration in the way it should
be
related. By Allah, these people are in welfare as long as this
Sheikh
(Abu Qilaba) is among them." I added, "Indeed in this event there
has
been a tradition set by Allah's Apostle. The narrator added: Some
Ansari people came to the Prophet and discussed some matters with
him,
a man from amongst them went out and was murdered. Those people
went
out after him, and behold, their companion was swimming in blood.
They
returned to Allah's Apostle and said to him, "O Allah's Apostle, we

have found our companion who had talked with us and gone out before

us, swimming in blood (killed)." Allah's Apostle went out and asked

them, "Whom do you suspect or whom do you think has killed him?"
They
said, "We think that the Jews have killed him." The Prophet sent
for
the Jews and asked them, "Did you kill this (person)?" They
replied,
"No." He asked the Al-Ansars, "Do you agree that I let fifty Jews
take
an oath that they have not killed him?" They said, "It matters
little
for the Jews to kill us all and then take false oaths." He said,
"Then
would you like to receive the Diya after fifty of you have taken an

oath (that the Jews have killed your man)?" They said, "We will not

take the oath." Then the Prophet himself paid them the Diya
(Blood-money)." The narrator added, "The tribe of Hudhail
repudiated
one of their men (for his evil conduct) in the Pre-lslamic period
of
Ignorance.

Then, at a place called Al-Batha' (near Mecca), the man attacked a
Yemenite family at night to steal from them, but a. man from the
family noticed him and struck him with his sword and killed him.
The
tribe of Hudhail came and captured the Yemenite and brought him to
'Umar during the Hajj season and said, "He has killed our
companion."
The Yemenite said, "But these people had repudiated him (i.e.,
their
companion)." 'Umar said, "Let fifty persons of Hudhail swear that
they
had not repudiated him." So forty-nine of them took the oath and
then
a person belonging to them, came from Sham and they requested him
to
swear similarly, but he paid one-thousand Dirhams instead of taking

the oath. They called another man instead of him and the new man
shook
hands with the brother of the deceased. Some people said, "We and
those fifty men who had taken false oaths (Al-Qasama) set out, and
when they reached a place called Nakhlah, it started raining so
they
entered a cave in the mountain, and the cave collapsed on those
fifty
men who took the false oath, and all of them died except the two
persons who had shaken hands with each other. They escaped death
but a
stone fell on the leg of the brother of the deceased and broke it,
whereupon he survived for one year and then died." I further said,
"'Abdul Malik bin Marwan sentenced a man to death in Qisas
(equality
in punishment) for murder, basing his judgment on Al-Qasama, but
later
on he regretted that judgment and ordered that the names of the
fifty
persons who had taken the oath (Al-Qasama), be erased from the
register, and he exiled them in Sham."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 38a:

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi:

A man peeped through a hole in the door of Allah's Apostle's house,

and at that time, Allah's Apostle had a Midri (an iron comb or bar)

with which he was rubbing his head. So when Allah's Apostle saw
him,
he said (to him), "If I had been sure that you were looking at me
(through the door), I would have poked your eye with this (sharp
iron
bar)." Allah's Apostle added, "The asking for permission to enter
has
been enjoined so that one may not look unlawfully (at what there is
in
the house without the permission of its people)."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 39:

Then
Muhammad bin Maslama testified that he had witnessed the Prophet
giving such a verdict.

Narrated Hisham's father:

'Umar asked the people, "Who heard the Prophet giving his verdict
regarding abortions?" Al-Mughira said, "I heard him judging that a
male or female slave should be given (as a Diya)." 'Umar said,

Allah's Apostle gave a verdict regarding an aborted fetus of a
woman
from Bani Lihyan that the killer (of the fetus) should give a male
or
female slave (as a Diya) but the woman who was required to give the

slave, died, so Allah's Apostle gave the verdict that her
inheritance
be given to her children and her husband and the Diya be paid by
her
'Asaba.

added, "So I served the Prophet L at home and on journeys; by
Allah,
he never said to me for anything which I did: Why have you done
this
like this or, for anything which I did not do: 'Why have you not
done
this like this?"

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 47:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "There is no Diya for persons killed by

wealth),
one-fifth thereof is for the state."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 49:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:

The Prophet said, "Whoever killed a Mu'ahid (a person who is
granted
the pledge of protection by the Muslims) shall not smell the
fragrance
of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of
forty
years (of traveling)."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 50:

Narrated Abu Juhaifa:

I asked 'Ali "Do you have anything Divine literature besides what
is
in the Qur'an?" Or, as Uyaina once said, "Apart from what the
people
have?" 'Ali said, "By Him Who made the grain split (germinate) and
created the soul, we have nothing except what is in the Quran and
the
ability (gift) of understanding Allah's Book which He may endow a
man,
with and what is written in this sheet of paper." I asked, "What is
on
this paper?" He replied, "The legal regulations of Diya
(Blood-money)
and the (ransom for) releasing of the captives, and the judgment
that
no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for
killing a Kafir (disbeliever)."

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 51:

Narrated Abu Said:

Volume 9, Book 83, Number 52:




Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

A Jew whose face had been slapped (by someone), came to the Prophet

and said, "O Muhammad! A man from your Ansari companions slapped
me. "
The Prophet said, "Call him". They called him and the Prophet asked

him, "Why did you slap his face?" He said, "O Allah's Apostle!
While I
was passing by the Jews, I heard him saying, 'By Him Who chose
Moses
above all the human beings.' I said (protestingly), 'Even above
Muhammad?' So I became furious and slapped him." The Prophet said,
"Do
not give me preference to other prophets, for the people will
become
unconscious on the Day of Resurrection and I will be the first to
gain
conscious, and behold, I will Find Moses holding one of the pillars
of
the Throne (of Allah). Then I will not know whether he has become
conscious before me or he has been exempted because of his
unconsciousness at the mountain (during his worldly life) which he
received."
