قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَاقِدِيُّ، ثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ:
كُنَّا فِي جَاهِلِيَّتِنَا وَإِنَّمَا نَحْمِلُ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ مَا بَلَغَ ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ، وَيُؤْخَذُ بِهِ حَالًا، فَإِنْ لَمْ يُوجَدْ عِنْدَنَا كَانَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الدَّيْنِ يَتَجَارَى، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْإِسْلَامُ كَانَ فِيمَا سَنَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَاقِلِ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَالْأَنْصَارِ ثُلُثُ الدِّيَةِ

✧ In our pre-Islamic ignorance (Jahiliyyah), we only paid blood money from the 'aql for what reached a third of the full diyah, and it was taken immediately. If it was not available with us, it was considered a debt to be paid later. When Islam came, among what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prescribed regarding the 'aqilah from Quraysh and the Ansar was a third of the diyah.
