## Hadith #4542

**Book:** Types of Blood-Wit (Kitab Al-Diyat) | **Narrator(s):** Abu Da'ud أبو داود السجستاني الأزدي, Ata' bin Abi Rabah عطاء بن أبي رباح, Ibn Ishaq محمد بن إسحاق بن يسار‎, Jabir ibn 'Abdullah, Yahya bin Wadh يحيى بن واضح | **Grade:** Hasan

On his father’s authority, said that his grandfather reported that the value of the blood-money at the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was eight hundred dinars or eight thousand dirhams, and the blood-money for the people of the Book was half of that for Muslims.
He said: This applied till Umar (Allah be pleased with him) became caliph and he made a speech in which he said: Take note! Camels have become dear. So Umar fixed the value for those who possessed gold at one thousand dinars, for those who possessed silver at twelve thousand (dirhams), for those who possessed cattle at two hundred cows, for those who possessed sheep at two thousand sheep, and for those who possessed suits of clothing at two hundred suits. He left the blood-money for dhimmis (protected people) as it was, not raising it in proportion to the increase he made in the blood-wit.

Zaid and Isma’il have transmitted it in a mursal form (i.e the link of the Companion being missing) from Ayyub, from ‘Ikrimah, from the Prophet (ﷺ). Isma’il b. ‘Ulayyah has treated it as a statement of ‘Ikrimah.

## Hadith #4898

**Book:** General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab) | **Narrator(s):** Abu Karayb, Muhammad bin al-'Ala' محمد بن العلاء - أبو كريب, Ata' bin Abi Rabah عطاء بن أبي رباح, ibn Umar, Imran bin Anas عمران بن أنس, Mua'wiya bin Hisham al-Qsar معاوية بن هشام القصار | **Grade:** Da'if

Ibn Awn said: I asked about the meaning of intisar (revenge) in the Qur’anic verse: “But indeed if any do help and defend themselves (intasara) after a wrong (done) to them, against them there is no cause of blame.” Then Ali ibn Zayd ibn Jad’an told me on the authority of Umm Muhammad, the wife of his father.
Ibn Awn said: It was believed that she used to go to the Mother of the Faithful (i.e. Aisha). She said: The Mother of the Faithful said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came upon me while Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, was with us. He began to do something with his hand. I signalled to him until I made him understand about her. So he stopped. Zaynab came on and began to abuse Aisha. She tried to prevent her but she did not stop.
So he (the Prophet) said to Aisha: Abuse her.
So she abused her and dominated her. Zaynab then went to Ali and said: Aisha abused you and did (such and such). Then Fatimah came (to the Prophet) and he said to her: She is the favourite of your father, by the Lord of the Ka’bah!
She then returned and said to them: I said to him such and such, and he said to me such and such. Then Ali came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and spoke to him about that.

I was sitting in one of the meeting of the Ansar. Abu Musa came terrified. We asked him; what makes you terrified? He replied: ‘Umar sent for me; so I went to him and asked his permission three times, but he did not permit me (to enter), so I came back. He asked; what has prevented you from coming to me? I replied: I came and asked permission three times, but it was not granted to me (so I returned). The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) has said: When one of you asks permission three times and it is not granted to him, he should go away. He (‘Umar’) said; establish the proof of it. So Abu Sa’id said: the youngest of the people will accompany you. So Abu Sa’id got up with him and testified.
