Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said heard Sulayman ibn Yasar mention that a face wound in which the bone was bared was like a head wound in which the bone was bared, unless the face was scarred by the wound. Then the blood-money is increased by one half of the blood-money of the head wound in which the skin was bared so that seventy five dinars are payable for it. Malik said, "What is done in our community is that the head wound with splinters has fifteen camels." He explained, "The head wound with splinters is that from which pieces of bone fly off and which does not reach the brain. It can be in the head or the face." Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing things in our community, is that there is no retaliation for a wound to the brain or a belly wound, and Ibn Shihab has said, 'There is no retaliation for a wound to the brain.' " Malik explained, "The wound to the brain is what pierces the bones to the brain. This type of wound only occurs in the head. It is that which reaches the brain when the bones are pierced." Malik said, "What is done in our community is that there is no blood-money paid on any head wound less than one which lays bare the skull. Blood-money is payable only for the head wound that bares the bone and what is worse than that. That is because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stopped at the head wound which bared the bone in his letter to Amr ibn Hazm. He made it five camels. The imams, past and present, have not made any blood- money payable for injuries less than the head wound which bares the bone

وحدثني يحيى، عن مالك، عن يحيى بن سعيد، انه سمع سليمان بن يسار، يذكر ان الموضحة، في الوجه مثل الموضحة في الراس الا ان تعيب الوجه فيزاد في عقلها ما بينها وبين عقل نصف الموضحة في الراس فيكون فيها خمسة وسبعون دينارا . قال مالك والامر عندنا ان في المنقلة خمس عشرة فريضة . قال والمنقلة التي يطير فراشها من العظم ولا تخرق الى الدماغ وهي تكون في الراس وفي الوجه . قال مالك الامر المجتمع عليه عندنا ان المامومة والجايفة ليس فيهما قود . وقد قال ابن شهاب ليس في المامومة قود . قال مالك والمامومة ما خرق العظم الى الدماغ ولا تكون المامومة الا في الراس وما يصل الى الدماغ اذا خرق العظم . قال مالك الامر عندنا انه ليس فيما دون الموضحة من الشجاج عقل حتى تبلغ الموضحة وانما العقل في الموضحة فما فوقها وذلك ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم انتهى الى الموضحة في كتابه لعمرو بن حزم فجعل فيها خمسا من الابل ولم تقض الايمة في القديم ولا في الحديث فيما دون الموضحة بعقل
