Muwatta Malik #1707
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 مَالِكٌ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ يَسَارٍ، سُئِلاَ أَتُغَلَّظُ الدِّيَةُ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ فَقَالاَ لاَ وَلَكِنْ يُزَادُ فِيهَا لِلْحُرْمَةِ . فَقِيلَ لِسَعِيدٍ هَلْ يُزَادُ فِي الْجِرَاحِ كَمَا يُزَادُ فِي النَّفْسِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ أُرَاهُمَا أَرَادَا مِثْلَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فِي عَقْلِ الْمُدْلِجِيِّ حِينَ أَصَابَ ابْنَهُ .
Malik said that he had heard
that Said ibn al-Musayyab and Sulayman ibn Yasar were asked, "Does one
deal more harshly in taking the blood-money in the sacred month?" They
said, "No. But it is increased in it because of violating the month."
It was said to Said, "Does one increase for the wound as one increases
for the life?" He said, "Yes."
Malik added, "I think that
they meant the same as what Umar ibn al-Khattab did with respect to
the blood-money of the Mudliji when he struck his son." (i.e. giving
120 camels instead of 100).
