It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mahmood bin Labeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of Uhud, the swords of the Muslims struck Sayyiduna Iman (may Allah be pleased with him), while they did not recognize him, so they killed him. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wished to pay his blood money, but Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) gave that blood money as charity to the Muslims.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to Yemen. I reached those people who had dug a pit for a lion. Meanwhile, there was a crowd there and people began to save themselves through one another. One man fell into the pit, he clung to another, the second grabbed a third, until four men fell into the pit. The lion wounded all of them. One man quickly struck the lion with a spear and killed it, but all four could not bear their wounds and passed away. Now the heirs of the slain, armed themselves and prepared to fight to the death. While they were preparing for battle, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived among them and said: You are girding yourselves for battle while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is still alive among you. I will decide among you; if you are pleased with it, then fine, otherwise refrain from confronting each other and do not take any step until you reach the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then he will decide among you, and whoever exceeds after that decision will have no right left. Now listen! My decision is that all the tribes who were gathered near the well should collectively pay one-fourth blood money, one-third blood money, half blood money, and full blood money. The one who first fell into the pit should be given one-fourth of the blood money, because he became the cause of the death of those above him. The second man who fell should be given one-third of the blood money, the third who fell should be given half the blood money, and the fourth should be given the full blood money. But the people refused to accept this decision. When they presented themselves before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was sitting near Maqam Ibrahim at that time. They narrated the incident before him. He said: I will now decide among you. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat upright. Meanwhile, a man said: Indeed, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had already decided among us, then he narrated the whole incident. Thus, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) enforced the same decision.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had it written that it is obligatory for every branch of the tribe to pay blood money, and he also had it written that it is not permissible for anyone to become a guardian of another without permission. The words of the narrator Ruh are: It is not lawful for a (freed) slave of a Muslim man to appoint anyone else as his guardian without his permission.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) decreed that the 'asaba (male agnates) of a woman will pay her blood money, whoever they may be.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that two women from the tribe of Huzail fought with each other. One of them struck the other with a stone, which hit her in the abdomen, and that woman was killed along with her unborn child. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decided that her blood money would be paid by her 'Aqilah, and the blood money for the unborn child would be a male or female slave. A man said: The child who neither ate, nor drank, nor spoke, nor cried—thus, its killing is invalid and wasted. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He seems to be a brother of soothsayers and astrologers.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that two co-wives fought with each other. One of them struck the other with a tent pole and killed her. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the family of the killer to pay blood money (diyah), and for the unborn child in the womb of the deceased, he ruled for a slave man or woman as compensation. A Bedouin said:“Are you imposing blood money for a child who neither ate nor drank, nor made a sound, nor cried? Such a child should be without any compensation.”The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Is this rhyming like the Bedouins? (Whatever anyone may say,) the blood money for the child killed in the woman’s womb must be a slave man or woman.”

Narrated by Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him): The slave of poor people cut off the ear of the slave of rich people. The owner of the latter came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and complained, but the owners of the slave who cut the ear said: O Messenger of Allah! We are poor people, we have nothing. So, you did not impose any blood money upon them.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Rimtha (may Allah be pleased with him): He says, I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was addressing, and he was saying: The hand that gives is the upper hand. Spend on your mother, father, sister, brother, and as much as possible on your closest relatives. Meanwhile, some people from Banu Tha'labah bin Yarbu' arrived. One of the Ansar said about them: O Messenger of Allah! These are the people of Banu Yarbu', they killed so-and-so. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Beware! No soul is responsible for the crime of another. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this twice.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ramtha (may Allah be pleased with him) in this way, he says: I went with my father to the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When I saw him, my father said: Abu Ramtha! Do you recognize him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? I said: No. He said: This is Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). At this, my hair stood on end. I thought that his noble person would have a status distinct from ordinary people, but he was a human being. The hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached his ears, there were traces of henna on his hair, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing two green sheets. My father greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam and we sat down. He spoke with us for a while, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Is this your son? My father said: Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah! It is true that he is my son, I bear witness to it. Hearing all this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled openly, because my resemblance to my father was very clear, yet he was swearing an oath. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Beware! He will not commit any crime against you, and you will not commit any crime against him. Along with this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: No soul shall bear the burden of another soul. ... al-Hadith.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Khushkhas Anbari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and my son was with me. The Prophet said: Is this your son? I said: Yes, this is my son. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He will not be guilty for you, nor will you be guilty for him (rather, everyone will be responsible for his own crime).
