Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah in the year of the conquest of Makkah, he stood before the people to address them, … this is a long hadith …, in it the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The blood money (diyah) of a disbeliever is half that of a Muslim.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) gave a ruling regarding the *mukatab* (contracted slave) that if he is killed, then for the portion of his contract that he has already paid, the blood money equivalent to that portion should be paid as for a free man, and for the portion that remains, the blood money should be paid as for a slave.

(Second chain) The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: For a mukatab (contracted slave), the amount he has paid should be compensated as the blood money of a freed person, and for the remaining installments, the blood money of a slave should be given.

(Third chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The blood money of a mukatab will be paid according to the proportion of his freedom, and for the portion in which he remains a slave, the blood money of a slave will be paid.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The mukatab will be given diyah according to the amount he has paid.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that one of the two women of Banu Huzail struck the other with a stone, causing her fetus to miscarry. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ruled that the blood money (diyah) for the fetus would be a male or female slave.

(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ruled that the blood money (diyah) for a fetus (janin) is a male or female slave. The one upon whom this ruling was made said: "Will blood money be given for one who has neither eaten nor drunk, nor cried out, nor made a sound? Such a soul is wasted." But the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "These are the words of poets. I am saying that for a fetus, the blood money is a male or female slave."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave a verdict for Haml bin Malik Hudhali to inherit from his wife, who had been killed by his other wife. Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decreed that the blood money (diyah) for the killed fetus would be a slave woman or a slave man. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The son and husband of the murdered woman will be her heirs. Haml bin Malik had children from both wives. The father of the murderess, who had to give a slave man or a slave woman, said: O Messenger of Allah! How can I pay the blood money for one who neither cried nor shouted, nor drank nor ate? Such a soul is wasted. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is from among the astrologers.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the verdict of a slave or a slave-girl as compensation (diyah) for a fetus. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave this same verdict regarding the wife of Haml bin Malik bin Nabighah al-Hudhali. Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no shighar in Islam.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted regarding the case when a woman miscarries (due to someone’s blow or injury) before the due time. Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had given the verdict that a slave man or woman must be given (as compensation). Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him): If you are truthful, then present a witness who knows about this matter. Then Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) testified that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had given this very verdict.
