Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al A’ala Bin Al Fuzayl, Abu Abdullah asws has said: ‘The deliberation is in which he strikes with the sword, or the stick (and) does not stop from it until he kills; and the error is in which he does not anticipate it (the killing)’.

Yunus, from one of his companions, Abu Abdullah asws has said: ‘If a man strikes a man with a stick, or with a rock, so he dies from his one strike before he speaks, so it is somewhat deliberate, therefore the wergild is upon the killer; and if he pounces upon him and hits him incessantly (nonstop) with the stick, or with the rock until he kills him, so he was deliberately killed with; and if he were to strike him with one strike, so he speaks, then remains (alive) for a day or more from (that) day, then dies, so it is somewhat deliberate’.

Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, both together from Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Al Maysami, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abu Al Abbas, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws , said, ‘I said to him asws , ‘I threw something at a man, the likes of which does not kill (but he dies)?’ He asws said: ‘This is erroneous (killing)’. Then he asws picked up a small pebble, so he threw it. I said, ‘I threw it at the sheep but it hit a man?’ He asws said: ‘This is the error in which there is no doubt, and the deliberate is that which he strikes with something, the likes of which could kill’.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, both together from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj who said, ‘I heard Ibn Abu Layli saying, ‘The wergild during the Pre-Islamic period was a hundred camels. So Rasool-Allah saww accepted it. Then he asws necessitated upon the owner of the cows, (wergild of) two hundred cows, and upon the owners of the sheep (wergild of) a thousand sheep (or) male goats; and upon the owners of the gold (wergild of) a thousand Dinars; and upon owners of the currency, (a wergild) of ten thousand Dirhams; and upon the clothes merchants of Al-Yemen, a hundred garments’. Abdul Rahman Bin Al-Hajjaj (the narrator) said, ‘So I asked Abu Abdullah asws about what Ibn Abu Layli is reporting, so he asws said: ‘Ali asws was saying: ‘The wergild is a thousand Dinars, and the value of the Dinar is ten Dirhams, and a thousand Dirhams being for the people of the city, and upon the people of the valleys is the wergild of one hundred camels, and for the vast majority of the people (wergild of) two hundred cows, or a thousand sheep’.
