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)

Allah's Apostle! If I meet an unbeliever 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."
Volume 9, Book 83, Number 6:

The Prophet said, "Al-Kaba'ir
(the biggest sins) are: To join others (as partners) in worship with
Allah, to be undutiful to one's parents," or said, "to take a false
oath." (The sub-narrator, Shu'ba is not sure) Mu'adh said: Shu'ba
said, "Al-kaba'ir (the biggest sins) are: (1) Joining others as

(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:
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samat:
I was among those Naqibs
(selected leaders) who gave the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's
Apostle. We gave the oath of allegiance, that 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 have Paradise, but
if we committed any one of these (sins), then our case will be decided
by Allah.

(i.e., 'Ali), and on the way I met Abu Bakra who asked me, "Where are
you going?" I replied, "I am going to help 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

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:

A man peeped into one of
the dwelling places of the Prophet. The Prophet got up and aimed a
sharp-edged arrow head (or wooden stick) at him to poke him
stealthily.

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:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Abul Qasim said, "If any

'Umar asked the people,
"Who heard the Prophet giving his verdict regarding abortions?"

testify your statement." Muhammad bin Maslama said, "I testify that
the Prophet gave such a judgment."

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.
Volume 9, Book 83, Number 45:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Two women from Hudhail
fought with each other and one of them hit the other with a stone that

Diya for the killed woman was to be paid by the 'Asaba (near
relatives) of the killer.

anything which I did not do: 'Why have you not done this like this?"

"There is no Diya for persons killed by animals or for the one who has

is no Diya for a person injured or killed by an animal (going about

Narrated Abu Juhaifa:
I asked 'Ali "Do you have
anything Divine literature besides what is in the Qur'an?" Or, as

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

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."
