sunan-abu-dawud-4494

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: Qurayzah and Nadir (were two Jewish tribes). An-Nadir were nobler than Qurayzah. When a man of Qurayzah killed a man of an-Nadir, he would be killed. But if a man of an-Nadir killed a man of Qurayzah, a hundred wasq of dates would be paid as blood-money. When Prophethood was bestowed upon the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, a man of an-Nadir killed a man of Qurayzah. They said: Give him to us, we shall kill him. They replied: We have the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم between you and us. So they came to him. Thereupon the following verse was revealed: If thou judge, judge in equity between them. In equity means life for a life. The following verse was then revealed: Do they seek of a judgment of (the days) ignorance? Abu Dawud said: Quraizah and al-Nadir were the descendants of Harun the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم

Narrated Abu Rimthah: I went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم with my father. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then asked my father: Is this your son? He replied: Yes, by the Lord of the Kabah. He again said: Is it true? He said: I bear witness to it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then smiled for my resemblance with my father, and for the fact that my father took an oath upon me. He then said: He will not bring evil on you, nor will you bring evil on him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم recited the verse: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another.

He replied: I struck his head with axe but I did not intend to kill him. He asked: Have you some money so that you pay his blood-wit? He said: No. He said: What is your opinion if I send you so that you ask the people (for money) and thus collect your blood-wit? He said: No. He asked: Will your masters give you his blood-wit (to pay his relatives)? He said: No. He said to the man. Take him. So he brought him out to kill him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If he kill him, he will be like him. This (statement) reached the man where he was listening to his statement. He said: He is here, order regarding him as you like. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Leave him alone. And he once said: He will bear the burden of the sin of the slain and that of his own and thus he will become one of the Companions of Hell. So he let him go.

Narrated Abu Umamah ibn Sahl: We were with Uthman when he was besieged in the house. There was an entrance to the house. He who entered it heard the speech of those who were in the Bilat. Uthman then entered it. He came out to us, looking pale. He said: They are threatening to kill me now. We said: Allah will be sufficient for you against them, Commander of the Faithful! He asked: Why kill me? I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: It is not lawful to kill a man who is a Muslim except for one of the three reasons: Kufr (disbelief) after accepting Islam, fornication after marriage, or wrongfully killing someone, for which he may be killed. I swear by Allah, I have not committed fornication before or after the coming of Islam, nor did I ever want another religion for me instead of my religion since Allah gave guidance to me, nor have I killed anyone. So for what reason do you want to kill me? Abu Dawud said: Uthman and Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with them) abandoned drinking wine in pre-Islamic times.

Narrated Ziyad ibn Saad ibn Dumayrah as-Sulami: On the authority of his father (Saad) and his grandfather (Dumayrah) (according to Musa's version) who were present in the battle of Hunayn with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم: After the advent of Islam, Muhallam ibn Jaththamah al-Laythi killed a man of Ashja. That was the first blood-money decided by the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم (for payment). Uyaynah spoke about the killing of al-Ashjai, for he belonged to Ghatafan, and al-Aqra ibn Habis spoke on behalf of Muhallam, for he belonged to Khunduf. The voices rose high, and the dispute and noise grew. So the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Do you not accept blood-money, Uyaynah? Uyaynah then said: No, I swear by Allah, until I cause his women to suffer the same fighting and grief as he caused my women to suffer. Again the voices rose high, and the dispute and noise grew. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Do you not accept the blood-money Uyaynah? Uyaynah gave the same reply as before, and a man of Banu Layth called Mukaytil stood up. He had a weapon and a skin shield in his hand. He said: I do not find in the beginning of Islam any illustration for what he has done except the one that some sheep came on, and those in the front were shot; hence those in the rear ran away . (The other example is that) make a law today and change it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Fifty (camels) here immediately and fifty when we return to Madina. This happened during some of his journeys. Muhallam was a tall man of dark complexion. He was with the people. They continued (to make effort for him) until he was released. He sat before the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, with his eyes flowing. He said: Messenger of Allah! I have done (the act) of which you have been informed. I repent to Allah, the Exalted, so ask Allah's forgiveness for me. Messenger of Allah! The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then said: Did you kill him with your weapon at the beginning of Islam. O Allah! do not forgive Muhallam. He said these words loudly. Abu Salamah added: He (Muhallam) then got up while he was wiping his tears with the end of his garment. Ibn Ishaq said: His people alleged that the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked forgiveness for him after that. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadr bin Shumail said: al-ghiyar means blood-wit.

He said: This foreleg which I have in my hand has informed me. She said: Yes. He said: What did you intend by it? She said: I thought if you were a prophet, it would not harm you; if you were not a prophet, we should rid ourselves of him (i. e. the Prophet). The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then forgave her, and did not punish her. But some of his companions who ate it, died. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم had himself cupped on his shoulder on account of that which he had eaten from the sheep. Abu Hind cupped him with the horn and knife.

Abdur-Rahman, who was the youngest, spoke about his brother, but the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to him: (Respect) the elder, (respect) the elder or he said: Let the eldest begin. They then spoke about their friend and the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Fifty of you should take oaths regarding a man from them (the Jews) and he should be entrusted (to him) with his rope (in his neck). They said: It is a matter which we did not see. How can we take oaths ? He said: The Jews exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah! they are a people who are infidels. So the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم paid them bloodwit himself. Sahl said: Once I entered the resting place of their camels, and the she-camel struck me with her lef. Hammad said this or (something) similar to it. Abu Dawud said: Another version transmitted by Yahya bin Saeed has: Would you swear fifty oaths and make you claim regarding your friend or your slain man ? Bishr, the transmitter, did mention blood. Abdah transmitted it from Yahya as transmitted by Hammad. Ibn Uyainah has also transmitted it from Yahya, and began with his words: The Jew will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths which they will swear. He did not mention the claim. Abu Dawud said: This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn Uyainah.

They said: We swear by Allah, we have not killed him. He then proceeded and came to his tribe and mentioned this to them. Then he, his brother Huwayyasah, who was older to him, and Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl came forward (to the Prophet). Muhayyasah began to speak. It was he who was at Khaibar. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then said to him: Let the eldest (speak), let the eldest (speak), meaning age. So Huwayyasah spoke, and after him Muhayyasah spoke. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then said: They should either pay the bloodwit for you friend or they should be prepared for war. So the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم wrote to them about it. They wrote (in reply): We swear by Allah, we have not killed him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then said to Huwayyasah, Muhayyasah and Abdur-Rahman: Will you take an oath and thus have the claim to the blood of your friend ? They said: No. He (the Prophet) said: The Jews will then take an oath. They said: They are not Muslims. Then the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم himself paid the bloodwit.

It contained: The lives of all Muslims are equal; they are one hand against others; the lowliest of them can guarantee their protection. Beware, a Muslim must not be killed for an infidel, nor must one who has been given a covenant be killed while his covenant holds. If anyone introduces an innovation, he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an innovation or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is cursed by Allah, by His angels, and by all the people.

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 bin Rashid - Sulaiman bin Musad - Amr bin Suhaib, On his father's authority, said that his grandfather said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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 صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم they reached between four hundred and eight hundred dinars, their equivalent in silver being eight thousand dirhams. He said: The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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 صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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 صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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 صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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 صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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 Shuaib who, on his father's authority, said that his grandfather heard it from the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم.
