( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَرْدَسْتَانِيُّ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْعِرَاقِيُّ بِبُخَارَى، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الدَّرَابَجِرْدِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ:
كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ عُمَرُ ؓ بِخَمْسٍ مِنْ صَوَافِي الْأُمَرَاءِ أَنَّ الْأَسْنَانَ سَوَاءٌ وَالْأَصَابِعَ سَوَاءٌ، وَفِي عَيْنِ الدَّابَّةِ رُبُعُ ثَمَنِهَا، وَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُسْأَلُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ، فَأَصْدَقُ مَا يَكُونُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ، وَجِرَاحَةُ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ سَوَاءٌ إِلَى الثُّلُثِ مِنْ دِيَةِ الرَّجُلِ

ʿUmar ؓ wrote to me with five rulings from the select properties of the commanders: that the teeth are equal and the fingers are equal; that for the eye of an animal the compensation is a quarter of its value; that a man is asked at the time of his death about his child, and he is most truthful at the time of his death; and that the wounds of men and women are equal up to one third of the blood money (diyah) of a man.
