Read all Ahadith in types of blood-wit (kitab al-diyat) by sunan abu dawood

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: Qurayzah and Nadir (were two Jewish tribes). An-Nadir were nobler than Qurayzah. When a man of Qurayzah killed a man of an-Nadir, he would be killed. But if a man of an-Nadir killed a man of Qurayzah, a hundred wasq of dates would be paid as blood-money. When Prophethood was bestowed upon the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, a man of an-Nadir killed a man of Qurayzah. They said: Give him to us, we shall kill him. They replied: We have the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم between you and us. So they came to him. Thereupon the following verse was revealed: If thou judge, judge in equity between them. In equity means life for a life. The following verse was then revealed: Do they seek of a judgment of (the days) ignorance? Abu Dawud said: Quraizah and al-Nadir were the descendants of Harun the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم

Narrated Abu Rimthah: I went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم with my father. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then asked my father: Is this your son? He replied: Yes, by the Lord of the Kabah. He again said: Is it true? He said: I bear witness to it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then smiled for my resemblance with my father, and for the fact that my father took an oath upon me. He then said: He will not bring evil on you, nor will you bring evil on him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم recited the verse: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another.

Narrated Abu Shurayh al-Khuzai: The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If a relative of anyone is killed, or if he suffers khabl, which means a wound, he may choose one of the three things: he may retaliate, or forgive, or receive compensation. But if he wishes a fourth (i. e. something more), hold his hands. After this whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: I never saw the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم that some dispute which involved retaliation was brought to him but he commanded regarding it for remission.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: A man was killed in the lifetime of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. The matter was brought to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He entrusted him to the legal guardian of the slain. The slayer said: Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, I did not intend to kill him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to the legal guardian: Now if he is true and you kill him, you will enter Hell-fire. So he let him go. His hands were tied with a strap. He came out pulling his strap. Hence he was called Dhu an-Nis'ah (possessor of strap).

Narrated Wail ibn Hujr: I was with the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم when a man who was a murderer and had a strap round his neck was brought to him. He then called the legal guardian of the victim and asked him: Do you forgive him? He said: No. He asked: Will you accept the blood-money? He said: No. He asked: Will you kill him? He said: Yes. He said: Take him. When he turned his back, he said: Do you forgive him? He said: No. He said: Will you accept the blood-money? He said: No. He said: Will you kill him? He said: Yes. He said: Take him. After repeating all this a fourth time, he said: If you forgive him, he will bear the burden of his own sin and the sin of the victim. He then forgave him. He (the narrator) said: I saw him pulling the strap.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Alqamah bin Wail through a different chain of narrators and to the same effect.

Narrated Wail (bin Hujr): A man brought an Abyssinian to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and said: This man has killed my nephew. He asked: How did you kill him? He replied: I struck his head with axe but I did not intend to kill him. He asked: Have you some money so that you pay his blood-wit? He said: No. He said: What is your opinion if I send you so that you ask the people (for money) and thus collect your blood-wit? He said: No. He asked: Will your masters give you his blood-wit (to pay his relatives)? He said: No. He said to the man. Take him. So he brought him out to kill him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: If he kill him, he will be like him. This (statement) reached the man where he was listening to his statement. He said: He is here, order regarding him as you like. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Leave him alone. And he once said: He will bear the burden of the sin of the slain and that of his own and thus he will become one of the Companions of Hell. So he let him go.

Narrated Abu Umamah ibn Sahl: We were with Uthman when he was besieged in the house. There was an entrance to the house. He who entered it heard the speech of those who were in the Bilat. Uthman then entered it. He came out to us, looking pale. He said: They are threatening to kill me now. We said: Allah will be sufficient for you against them, Commander of the Faithful! He asked: Why kill me? I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: It is not lawful to kill a man who is a Muslim except for one of the three reasons: Kufr (disbelief) after accepting Islam, fornication after marriage, or wrongfully killing someone, for which he may be killed. I swear by Allah, I have not committed fornication before or after the coming of Islam, nor did I ever want another religion for me instead of my religion since Allah gave guidance to me, nor have I killed anyone. So for what reason do you want to kill me? Abu Dawud said: Uthman and Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with them) abandoned drinking wine in pre-Islamic times.

Narrated Ziyad ibn Saad ibn Dumayrah as-Sulami: On the authority of his father (Saad) and his grandfather (Dumayrah) (according to Musa's version) who were present in the battle of Hunayn with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم: After the advent of Islam, Muhallam ibn Jaththamah al-Laythi killed a man of Ashja. That was the first blood-money decided by the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم (for payment). Uyaynah spoke about the killing of al-Ashjai, for he belonged to Ghatafan, and al-Aqra ibn Habis spoke on behalf of Muhallam, for he belonged to Khunduf. The voices rose high, and the dispute and noise grew. So the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Do you not accept blood-money, Uyaynah? Uyaynah then said: No, I swear by Allah, until I cause his women to suffer the same fighting and grief as he caused my women to suffer. Again the voices rose high, and the dispute and noise grew. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Do you not accept the blood-money Uyaynah? Uyaynah gave the same reply as before, and a man of Banu Layth called Mukaytil stood up. He had a weapon and a skin shield in his hand. He said: I do not find in the beginning of Islam any illustration for what he has done except the one that some sheep came on, and those in the front were shot; hence those in the rear ran away . (The other example is that) make a law today and change it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Fifty (camels) here immediately and fifty when we return to Madina. This happened during some of his journeys. Muhallam was a tall man of dark complexion. He was with the people. They continued (to make effort for him) until he was released. He sat before the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم, with his eyes flowing. He said: Messenger of Allah! I have done (the act) of which you have been informed. I repent to Allah, the Exalted, so ask Allah's forgiveness for me. Messenger of Allah! The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم then said: Did you kill him with your weapon at the beginning of Islam. O Allah! do not forgive Muhallam. He said these words loudly. Abu Salamah added: He (Muhallam) then got up while he was wiping his tears with the end of his garment. Ibn Ishaq said: His people alleged that the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم asked forgiveness for him after that. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadr bin Shumail said: al-ghiyar means blood-wit.
