Muwatta Malik #1679
Blood-Money
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ تُعَاقِلُ الْمَرْأَةُ الرَّجُلَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ الدِّيَةِ إِصْبَعُهَا كَإِصْبَعِهِ وَسِنُّهَا كَسِنِّهِ وَمُوضِحَتُهَا كَمُوضِحَتِهِ وَمُنَقِّلَتُهَا كَمُنَقَّلَتِهِ .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyab said, "The blood-money for a woman is the same as for a
man up to one third of the blood-money. Her finger is like his finger,
her tooth is like his tooth, her injury which lays bare the bone is
like his, and her head wound which splinters the bone is like his."
