( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أَنْبَأَ الرَّبِيعُ قَالَ: قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: فَإِنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ:

مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْقَدِيمِ أَنْ تَعْقِلَ الْعَاقِلَةُ الثُّلُثَ فَصَاعِدًا قُلْنَا: الْقَدِيمُ قَدْ يَكُونُ مِمَّنْ يُقْتَدَى بِهِ وَيَلْزَمُ قَوْلُهُ وَيَكُونُ مِنَ الْوُلَاةِ الَّذِينَ لَا يُقْتَدَى بِهِمْ وَلَا يَلْزَمُ قَوْلُهُمْ أَفَنَتْرُكُ الْيَقِينَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَضَى بِنِصْفِ عُشْرِ الدِّيَةِ عَلَى الْعَاقِلَةِ بِظَنٍّ ؟

"It is among the old practice that the 'āqilah pays the blood money for a third or more." We said: The old practice may come from those who are followed and whose words are binding, or it may come from rulers who are not followed and whose words are not binding. Shall we abandon what is certain, that the Prophet ﷺ ruled that a twentieth of the blood money (diyah) be paid by the 'āqilah, on account of a mere assumption?
