أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْجَزَرِيُّ، أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ:
كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يَجْعَلُ فِي الْإِبْهَامِ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا نِصْفَ دِيَةِ الْكَفِّ، وَيَجْعَلُ فِي الْإِبْهَامِ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ، وَفِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا عَشْرًا، وَفِي الْوُسْطَى عَشْرًا، وَفِي الَّتِي تَلِيهَا تِسْعًا، وَفِي الْأُخْرَى سِتًّا، حَتَّى كَانَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ، فَوَجَدَ كِتَابًا كَتَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، فِيهِ: وَفِي الْأَصَابِعِ عَشْرٌ عَشْرٌ فَصَيَّرَهَا عُثْمَانُ ؓ: عَشْرًا عَشْرًا

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ used to assign for the thumb and the one next to it half the blood money of the hand, and he assigned for the thumb fifteen, for the one next to it ten, for the middle finger ten, for the one next to it nine, and for the last one six. Then Uthman b. Affan ؓ found a document that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote for Amr b. Hazm, in which was: And for the fingers ten, ten. So Uthman ؓ made them ten, ten.
