Hazrat Asim narrates that the judge of Basra, Hazrat Adi bin Arta’ah, wrote a letter to Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz stating that he had found a murdered person in the butchers’ market and asked what he should do.

Hazrat Mujahid narrates that a supervisor from the tribe of Juhaina told me that during winter, a prisoner was brought to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to some people from the tribe of Juhaina: Take him and clothe him in warm clothes. The narrator says that in their language, the word "daf" was used in the sense of killing. So they took that person and killed him. Later, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them about him. They said, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Did you not order us to kill him? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: How did I tell you? Did I say, take him and kill him? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, then I have become a partner with you. You must pay his blood money, and I am your partner in it. The narrator says: Then I narrated this hadith to Hazrat Aamir, and he said: You have spoken the truth, and he recognized the hadith.

Hazrat Ibn Jurayj states that Hazrat Ata said: If a man kills someone by mistake and then intentionally kills another person, he will pay the blood money for the mistake because the blood money had already become obligatory due to the intentional killing. A person asked him: And if someone intentionally kills and then kills by mistake? He replied: He will not pay the blood money because, indeed, the compensation for his blood has not been given.

Hazrat Ibn Jurayj says that I asked Hazrat Ata: A man intentionally killed someone and then fled, and he could not be apprehended until he died, leaving behind wealth. He (Ata) replied: The blood money (diyat) for the murdered person will be obligatory from his (the killer’s) wealth. He was asked: Should this killer be imprisoned until he dies? He replied: Indeed, it is those people who have killed him! They imprisoned him until he died in jail.

What is the ruling regarding this? Hazrat Sha'bi replied: The funeral prayer will be offered over the middle part, and the people of the place where the middle part was found will be responsible for paying blood money (diyat) and taking the oath (qasamah) that they did not kill him and do not know the killer.
