Hazrat Rabee’ bin Nu’man narrates from his mother that a woman from the tribe of Banu Laith, whose name was Umm Haroon: While she was sitting and cutting the meat of her sacrificial animal, suddenly a dog attacked the meat in the house. The woman threw a knife at it, but her aim missed, and the knife struck her son, who was lying there, in the stomach, and he died. So Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) paid his blood money from the public treasury (Bait-ul-Mal).

Hazrat Khallas narrates that a man killed his mother by striking her with a stone. Then he began to demand his share of his mother's inheritance from his brothers. His brothers said: "There is no inheritance for you." They presented this matter before Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He excluded the man from the inheritance and ruled that blood money (diyat) was obligatory upon him, and said: "From your mother's side, your share will be that stone."

Hazrat Ata narrates that Hazrat Qatada had an umm walad who used to graze his goats. The son born from this slave woman said to him, "How long will you keep my mother as a slave? By Allah! You cannot keep her as a slave for longer than the period you have already kept her." He (Qatada) said, "Indeed, what are you doing here?" Then he struck her with a sword and killed her. Regarding this matter, Hazrat Suraqah bin Jusham wrote a letter to Hazrat Umar, so he replied, "Send him to me with one hundred and twenty camels." According to the narrator Hajjaj, among them were thirty hiqqah, thirty jadh'ah, and forty others. Hazrat Umar distributed them among her brothers.

29724 - From Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather (1).

29725 - From Qatadah, from Abu al-Malih (1).

29726 - From Ata that Qatada had a slave woman who tended his sheep, and his son from her said to him: "How long will you keep my mother as a slave?" (By Allah), you will not keep her as a slave any longer than you have already done." He said: "You are here for her," and struck him with the sword and killed him. Suraqa ibn Jushum wrote about this to Umar, and Umar wrote to him: "Bring him to me with one hundred and twenty." Hajjaj said: Some said: "And with one hundred and forty." So he took from her thirty hiqqas, thirty jadh'as, and forty between thaniyyah and bazil of that year, all pregnant, and divided them among his brothers and did not give him any inheritance.

Hazrat Auf narrates that Umar bin Hayan Hammani used to take great care of his horse, and when he made his son ride the horse, the boy fell down, landing on his side, and passed away. The blood money (diyah) for him was imposed upon his family members during the governorship of Ziyad in Basra.

Hazrat Ash'ath narrates that Hazrat Ibn Sirin said: A man made his son ride a horse so that he could present the horse for sale. He drove a nail into the horse's haunch to make it run faster and called out to it, so the horse killed his son. Thus, the responsibility for the blood money was placed upon his family members, and the father was not made an heir to anything.
