وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ، ثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي الْأَخْضَرِ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ:

كَانَتِ الدِّيَةُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَرْبَعَةَ أَسْنَانٍ: خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ حِقَّةً وَخَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ جَذَعَةً، وَخَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ بَنَاتِ لَبُونٍ، وَخَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ بَنَاتِ مَخَاضٍ، حَتَّى كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ وَمَصَّرَ الْأَمْصَارَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: لَيْسَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَجِدُونَ الْإِبِلَ فَقَوِّمُوا الْإِبِلَ بِأُوقِيَّةٍ أُوقِيَّةٍ، فَكَانَتْ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ، ثُمَّ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: فَقَوِّمُوا الْإِبِلَ، فَقُوِّمَتْ أُوقِيَّةً وَنِصْفً، قَالَ: فَكَانَتْ سِتَّةَ آلَافٍ، ثُمَّ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: فَقَوِّمُوا الْإِبِلَ، فَقُوِّمَتْ أُوقِيَّتَيْنِ، فَكَانَتْ ثَمَانِيَةَ آلَافٍ، ثُمَّ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: فَقَوِّمُوا الْإِبِلَ فَقُوِّمَتْ أُوقِيَّتَيْنِ وَنِصْفًا فَكَانَتْ عَشَرَةَ آلَافٍ، ثُمَّ غَلَتِ الْإِبِلُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ: فَقَوِّمُوا الْإِبِلَ، فَقُوِّمَتِ الْإِبِلُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَوَاقٍ، فَكَانَتِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، فَجَعَلَ عُمَرُ ؓ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْوَرِقِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الذَّهَبِ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ، وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْإِبِلِ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ، وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْحُلَلِ مِائَتَيْ حُلَّةٍ، قِيمَةُ كُلِّ حُلَّةٍ خَمْسَةُ دَنَانِيرَ، وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الضَّأْنِ أَلْفَ ضَانِيَةٍ، وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَعْزِ أَلْفَيْ مَاعِزَةٍ، وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقَرِ مِائَتَيْ بَقَرَةٍ

✧ The blood money during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was of four ages: twenty-five hiqqah, twenty-five jadha'ah, twenty-five bint labun, and twenty-five bint makhad. This was until 'Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ established the garrison cities. 'Umar ؓ said: 'Not all people find camels, so value the camels at one uqiyyah each.' Thus it was four thousand. Then camels became expensive, so 'Umar ؓ said: 'Value the camels,' and they were valued at one and a half uqiyyah. He said: Thus it was six thousand. Then camels became expensive, so 'Umar ؓ said: 'Value the camels,' and they were valued at two uqiyyahs. Thus it was eight thousand. Then camels became expensive, so 'Umar ؓ said: 'Value the camels,' and they were valued at two and a half uqiyyahs. Thus it was ten thousand. Then camels became expensive, so 'Umar ؓ said: 'Value the camels,' and the camels were valued at three uqiyyahs. Thus it was twelve thousand. 'Umar ؓ then imposed upon the people of silver twelve thousand [dirhams], upon the people of gold one thousand dinars, upon the people of camels one hundred camels, upon the people of garments two hundred garments, the value of each garment being five dinars, upon the people of sheep one thousand ewes, upon the people of goats two thousand goats, and upon the people of cattle two hundred cows.
