Narrated Abu Dawud: Abu Dawud and others have said: When a she-camel enters fourth year, the female is called hiqqah, and the male is called hiqq, for it deserves that it should be loaded and ridden. When a camel enters its fifth year, the male is called Jadha' and the female is called Jadha'ah. When it enters its sixth year, and sheds its front teeth, it is called thani (male) and thaniyyah (female). When it enters its seventh year, it is called raba' and raba'iyyah. When it enters its ninth year and cuts its canine teeth, it is called bazil. When it enters its tenth year, it is called mukhlif. Then there is no name for it, but is called bazil'am and bazil'amain, and mukhlif'am and mukhlif'amain, upto any year it increases. Nad d. Shumail said: Bint makhad is a she-camel of one year, and bin labun is s she-camel of two years, hiqqah is a she-camel of three years, jadha'ah is a she-camel of four years, thani is a camel of five years, raba' is a camel of six years, sadis is a camel of seven years, and bazil is a camel of eight years. Abu Dawud said: Abu Hatim and al-Asma'i said: Al-Jadhu'ah is a time when no tooth is growing. Abu Hatim said: Some of them said: When it sheds its teeth between front and canine teeth, it is called raba' and when it sheds its front teeth, it is called thani. Abu 'Ubaid said: When it becomes pregnant, it is called khalifah, and it remains khalifah for ten months; when it reaches ten months, it is called 'ushara', Abu Hatim said: When it shed its front teeth, it is called thani and when it sheds its teeth between front and canine teeth it is called raba

Shumail transmitted it from Shu'bah to the same effect as mentioned by 'Abd al-Samad. Abu Dawud said: al-Darimi narrated it to me from al-Nadr

Narrated 'Amr b. Suh'aib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said in his address while he was leaning against the Ka'bah: (The blood-wit) for each finger is ten camels

حدثنا زهير بن حرب ابو خيثمة، حدثنا يزيد بن هارون، حدثنا حسين المعلم، عن عمرو بن شعيب، عن ابيه، عن جده، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " في الاسنان خمس خمس

Narrated Abu Dawud: I found in my notebook from Shaiban and I did not hear from him ; Abu Bakr, a reliable friend of ours, said: Shaiban - Muhammad b. Rashid - Sulaiman b. Musad - 'Amr b. Suh'aib, On his father's authority, said that his grandfather said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would fix the blood-money for accidental killing at the rate of four hundred dinars or their equivalent in silver for townsmen, and he would fix it according to the price of camels. So when they were dear, he increased the amount to be paid, and when cheap prices prevailed he reduced the amount to be paid. In the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) they reached between four hundred and eight hundred dinars, their equivalent in silver being eight thousand dirhams. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave judgment that those who possessed cattle should pay two hundred cows, and those who possessed sheep two thousand sheep. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The blood-money is to be treated as something to be inherited by the heirs of the one who has been killed, and the remainder should be divided among the agnates. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave judgment that for cutting off a nose completely there was full blood-money, one hundred (camels) were to be paid. If the tip of the nose was cut off, half of the blood-money,i.e. fifty camels were to be paid, or their equivalent in gold or in silver, or a hundred cows, or one thousand sheep. For the hand, when it was cut of,f half of the blood-money was to be paid; for one foot of half, the blood-money was to be paid. For a wound in the head, a third of the blood-money was due, i.e. thirty-three camels and a third of the blood-money, or their equivalent in gold, silver, cows or sheep. For a head thrust which reaches the body, the same blood-money was to be paid. Ten camels were to be paid for every finger, and five camels for every tooth. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave judgment that the blood-money for a woman should be divided among her relatives on her father's side, who did not inherit anything from her except the residence of her heirs. If she was killed, her blood-money should be distributed among her heirs, and they would have the right of taking revenge on the murderer. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: There is nothing for the murderer; and if he (the victim) has no heir, his heir will be the one who is nearest to him among the people, but the murderer should not inherit anything. Muhammad said: All this has been transmitted to me by Sulayman ibn Musa on the authority of Amr ibn Shu'aib who, on his father's authority, said that his grandfather heard it from the Prophet (ﷺ). Abu Dawud said: Muhammad b. Rashid, an inhabitant of Damascus, fled from Basrah escaping murder

Narrated 'Amr b. Suh'aib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Blood-wit for what resembles intentional murder is to be made as severe as that for intentional murder, but the culprit is not to be killed. Khalid gave us some additional information on the authority of Ibn Rashid: That (unintentional murder which resembles intentional murder) means that Satan jumps among the people and then the blood is shed blindly without any malice and weapon

حدثنا محمد بن يحيى بن فارس، حدثنا محمد بن بكار بن بلال العاملي، اخبرنا محمد، - يعني ابن راشد - عن سليمان، - يعني ابن موسى - عن عمرو بن شعيب، عن ابيه، عن جده، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " عقل شبه العمد مغلظ مثل عقل العمد ولا يقتل صاحبه " . قال وزادنا خليل عن ابن راشد " وذلك ان ينزو الشيطان بين الناس فتكون دماء في عميا في غير ضغينة ولا حمل سلاح

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Blood-wit for every wound which lays bare a bone is five camels

حدثنا ابو كامل، فضيل بن حسين ان خالد بن الحارث، حدثهم قال اخبرنا حسين، - يعني المعلم - عن عمرو بن شعيب، ان اباه، اخبره عن عبد الله بن عمرو، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " في المواضح خمس

Narrated 'Amr b. Suh'aib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave judgment that a third of the blood-wit should be paid for an eye fixed in its place

حدثنا محمود بن خالد السلمي، حدثنا مروان، - يعني ابن محمد - حدثنا الهيثم بن حميد، حدثني العلاء بن الحارث، حدثني عمرو بن شعيب، عن ابيه، عن جده، قال قضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في العين القايمة السادة لمكانها بثلث الدية

Narrated Al-Mughirah b. Shu'bah:A man of Hudhail has two wives. One of them struck her fellow-wife with a tent-pole and killed her and her unborn child. They brought the dispute to the Prophet (ﷺ). One of two men said: How can we pay bloodwit for the one who did not make a noise, or ate, nor drank, nor raised his voice ? He (the Prophet) asked: Is it rhymed prose like that of bedouin? He gave judgement that a male or female slave of the best quality should be paid in compensation, and he fixed it to be paid by woman's relatives on her father's side

حدثنا حفص بن عمر النمري، حدثنا شعبة، عن منصور، عن ابراهيم، عن عبيد بن نضلة، عن المغيرة بن شعبة، ان امراتين، كانتا تحت رجل من هذيل فضربت احداهما الاخرى بعمود فقتلتها وجنينها فاختصموا الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال احد الرجلين كيف ندي من لا صاح ولا اكل ولا شرب ولا استهل . فقال " اسجع كسجع الاعراب " . وقضى فيه بغرة وجعله على عاقلة المراة

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Mansur through a different chain of narrators and to the same effect. This version adds:The Prophet (ﷺ) fixed the bloodwit for the slain woman to be paid by the relatives of the woman who had slain her, on the father's side. Abu Dawud said: In a similar way it has been transmitted by al-Hakam from Mujahid from al-Mughirah

حدثنا عثمان بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا جرير، عن منصور، باسناده ومعناه . وزاد فجعل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم دية المقتولة على عصبة القاتلة وغرة لما في بطنها . قال ابو داود وكذلك رواه الحكم عن مجاهد عن المغيرة

Narrated Al-Miswar b. Makhramah: 'Umar consulted the people about the compensation of abortion of woman. Al-Mughirah b. Shu'bah said: I was present with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he gave judgement that a male or female slave should testify you. So he brought Muhammad b. Maslamah to him. Harun added: He then testified him. Imlas means a man striking the belly of his wife. Abu Dawud said: I have been informed that Abu 'Ubaid said: It (abortion) is called imlas because the woman causes it to slip before the time of delivery. Similarly, anything which slips from the hand or from some other thing is called malasa (slipped)

حدثنا عثمان بن ابي شيبة، وهارون بن عباد الازدي، - المعنى - قالا حدثنا وكيع، عن هشام، عن عروة، عن المسور بن مخرمة، ان عمر، استشار الناس في املاص المراة فقال المغيرة بن شعبة شهدت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قضى فيها بغرة عبد او امة . فقال ايتني بمن يشهد معك . فاتاه بمحمد بن مسلمة - زاد هارون - فشهد له يعني ضرب الرجل بطن امراته . قال ابو داود بلغني عن ابي عبيد انما سمي املاصا لان المراة تزلقه قبل وقت الولادة وكذلك كل ما زلق من اليد وغيره فقد ملص

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by 'Umar through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. Abu Dawud said:Hammad b. Zaid and Hammad b. Salamah transmitted it from Hisham b. 'Arubah on his father's authority who said that 'Umar said

حدثنا موسى بن اسماعيل، حدثنا وهيب، عن هشام، عن ابيه، عن المغيرة، عن عمر، بمعناه . قال ابو داود رواه حماد بن زيد وحماد بن سلمة عن هشام بن عروة، عن ابيه، ان عمر، قال

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 'Umar asked about the decision of the Prophet (ﷺ) about that (i.e. abortion). Haml b. Malik b. al-Nabhigah got up and said: I was between two women. One of them struck another with a rolling-pin killing both her and what was in her womb. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave judgement that the bloodwit for the unborn child should be a male or a female slave of the best quality and the she should be killed. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadr b. Shumail said: Mistah means a rolling-pin. Abu Dawud said: Abu 'Ubaid said: Mistah means a pole from the tent-poles

حدثنا محمد بن مسعود المصيصي، حدثنا ابو عاصم، عن ابن جريج، قال اخبرني عمرو بن دينار، انه سمع طاوسا، عن ابن عباس، عن عمر، انه سال عن قضية النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم في ذلك فقام اليه حمل بن مالك بن النابغة فقال كنت بين امراتين فضربت احداهما الاخرى بمسطح فقتلتها وجنينها فقضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في جنينها بغرة وان تقتل . قال ابو داود قال النضر بن شميل المسطح هو الصوبج . قال ابو داود وقال ابو عبيد المسطح عود من اعواد الخباء

Narrated Tawus: Umar stood on the pulpit. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect as mentioned before. He did not mention "that she should be killed". This version adds: "a male or a female slave". Umar then said: Allah is Most Great. Had I not heard it, we would have decided about it something else

حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد الزهري، حدثنا سفيان، عن عمرو، عن طاوس، قال قام عمر رضى الله عنه على المنبر فذكر معناه لم يذكر وان تقتل . زاد بغرة عبد او امة . قال فقال عمر الله اكبر لو لم اسمع بهذا لقضينا بغير هذا
