"عَنِ السَّائبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: كَانَتِ الدِّيَّةُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ أَرْبَعَةَ أَسْنَانٍ؛ خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرونَ حِقَّةً وَخَمْسٌ وعشْرونَ جَذعَةً، وَخَمْسٌ وعشْرونَ بَنَاتِ لَبُونٍ، وَخَمْسٌ وعشْرونَ بَنَاتِ مَخَاضٍ، حَتَّى كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، ومَصَّر الأَمْصَارَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: لَيْسَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَجِدُونَ الإبلَ (فَقَوِّمُوا الإِبِلَ أُوقيَّةً أُوقيَّةً، فَكَانَتْ أرْبَعَةَ آلَافٍ، ثُمَّ غلَتِ الإبِلُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ()): قَوِّمُوا الإبِلَ، فَقُوِّمَتْ أُوقِيَّةً ونِصْفَ أُوقِيَّةٍ، فكَانَتْ سِتَّةَ آلَافٍ، ثُمَّ غلَتِ الإِبلُ فَقَالَ: قَوِّمُوا الإِبلَ، فَقُوِّمَتْ أُوقِيَّتين فَكَانَتْ ثَمَانِيةَ آلاف، ثُمَّ غَلَتِ الإِبِلُ - (فَقَالَ (): قَوِّمُوا الإبِلَ فَقُوِّمَتْ أُوقَيِّتين ونِصْفًا، فَكَانَتْ عَشْرَةَ آلافٍ) ثم غَلَتِ الإبِلُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: قَوِّمُوا الإبِلَ فَقُوِّمَت الإبلُ ثَلَاثَ أَوَاقٍ، فَكَانَتْ اثْنَى عَشَرَ أَلْفًا، فَجَعَلَ عُمَرُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْوَرِقِ اثْنَى عَشَر أَلْفًا، (وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الذَّهَب أَلْفَ دِينَارِ) وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الإِبِلِ مَائةً مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْحُلَلِ مائَتَى حُلَّةٍ، قِيمَةُ كُلِّ حُلَّةٍ خَمْسَةُ دَنَانِيرَ (وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الضَّأنِ أَلْفَ ضَائِنَةٍ، وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَعْزِ أَلْفَى مَاعِزٍ )) وَعَلَى أَهْلِ البقر مائتى بقرة".

"From Sa'ib ibn Yazid, who said: The blood money (diyyah) during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was four categories: twenty-five hiqqah, twenty-five jadha'ah, twenty-five bint labun, and twenty-five bint makhad. Until 'Umar ibn al-Khattab came, and he established the garrison cities. 'Umar said: 'Not all people can find camels, so estimate the camels at an uqiyyah each,' and it came to four thousand. Then camels became expensive, and 'Umar said: 'Estimate the camels,' so they were valued at an uqiyyah and a half, and it came to six thousand. Then camels became expensive, and he said: 'Estimate the camels,' so they were valued at two uqiyyahs, and it came to eight thousand. Then camels became expensive (he said: 'Estimate the camels,' so they were valued at two and a half uqiyyahs, and it came to ten thousand). Then camels became expensive, and 'Umar said: 'Estimate the camels,' so the camels were valued at three uqiyyahs, and it came to twelve thousand. 'Umar imposed on the people of silver twelve thousand, (and on the people of gold one thousand dinars), and on the people of camels one hundred camels, and on the people of garments two hundred garments, the value of each garment being five dinars, (and on the people of sheep one thousand ewes, and on the people of goats two thousand she-goats) and on the people of cattle two hundred cows."
