Hadith record

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘Abu Abdullah asws said: ‘Wergild of the erroneous (killing) when the man did not intend, is one hundred from the camels, or ten thousand (Dirhams) from the (owners of) the foliage, or a thousand from the sheep’. And he asws said: ‘The harsh wergild of that which resembles the deliberation, and it is not with deliberation, is higher than the wergild of the erroneous (killing) by the years (ages) of the camel – thirty three Hiqqa (four years old), and thirty Jaz’a (five years old), and thirty four Saniyya (six years old), all of these being easily manageable stallions’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him asws about the wergild, so he asws said: ‘Wergild of the Muslim is ten thousand from the silver, or a thousand Misqaal (unit or measurement) of gold, or a thousand from the sheep based upon their years being three years, and from the camels based upon their years, and from the cows two hundred’.
