1483 - Al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī al-Khallāl narrated to us, saying: Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us, saying: Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd informed us, on the authority of Bushayr ibn Yasār, on the authority of Sahl ibn Abī Ḥathma and Rāfiʿ ibn Khadīj, something similar to this ḥadīth with the same meaning(1).

This is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ ḥadīth.

The practice according to this is what the people of knowledge follow regarding the qasāma (oath of compurgation). Some jurists of Medina held that retaliation is established through the qasāma. Some people of knowledge from Kufa and others said: the qasāma does not necessitate retaliation; rather, it only necessitates the blood money (diya).

= And his saying: "he paid his ʿaql," meaning: his blood money from his own wealth, as he said in another narration: "so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid his blood money on his behalf," disliking that his blood should go unavenged.

(1) Its chain of transmission is ṣaḥīḥ, and see what precedes it.
