Blood Money
(Ad-Diyat)
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)

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."

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

their swords then (both) the killer and the killed one

one?' He said, 'The killed one was eager to kill his

her a second time, saying, "Did so-and-so strike you?"
She raised her head, denying that. He said for the third

strike you?" She gestured with her head, expressing

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

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."

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

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."

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."

(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."

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)."

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

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:
The Prophet said, "Do not
prefer some prophets to others."
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."
