Muwatta Malik #1701
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، أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، كَانَ يَقُولُ دِيَةُ الْمَجُوسِيِّ ثَمَانِي مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَهُوَ الأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَجِرَاحُ الْيَهُودِيِّ وَالنَّصْرَانِيِّ وَالْمَجُوسِيِّ فِي دِيَاتِهِمْ عَلَى حِسَابِ جِرَاحِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي دِيَاتِهِمُ الْمُوضِحَةُ نِصْفُ عُشْرِ دِيَتِهِ وَالْمَأْمُومَةُ ثُلُثُ دِيَتِهِ وَالْجَائِفَةُ ثُلُثُ دِيَتِهِ فَعَلَى حِسَابِ ذَلِكَ جِرَاحَاتُهُمْ كُلُّهَا .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said
that Sulayman ibn Yasar said, "The blood-money of a magian is eight
hundred dirhams."
Malik said, "This is what is done in our
community."
Malik said, "The blood-monies of the jew,
christian, and magian in their injuries, is according to the injury of
the muslims in their blood-moneys. The head wound is a twentieth of
his full blood-money. The wound that opens the head is a third of his
blood-money. The belly-wound is a third of his blood-money. All their
injuries are according to this calculation."
