Sunan Abi Dawud 4555

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Abdullah narrated to us: Said narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Said ibn al-Musayyib, from Zayd ibn Thabit, concerning aggravated blood compensation, who mentioned exactly the same. Abu Dawud said: Abu Ubayd said, from more than one authority: When a camel enters its fourth year, it is called hiqq for a male and hiqqah for a female, because it is then fit to be loaded and ridden. When it enters its fifth year, it is called jadha for a male and jadha for a female. When it enters its sixth year and sheds its incisor, it is called thani for a male and thaniyya for a female. When it enters its seventh year, it is called raba for a male and raba iyya for a female. When it enters its eighth year and sheds the tooth after the raba iyya, it is called sadis for a male and sadis for a female. When it enters its ninth year, its tusk breaks through and appears, and it is called bazil. When it enters its tenth year, it is called mukhlif. After that it has no new name; it is called a one-year bazil, a two-year bazil, a one-year mukhlif, a two-year mukhlif, and so on. Al-Nadr ibn Shumayl said: Bint makhad is one year old, bint labun two years old, hiqqah three years old, jadha four years old, thani five years old, raba six years old, sadis seven years old, and bazil eight years old. Abu Dawud said: Abu Hatim and al-Asmai said that jadhuah describes a period, not an age. Abu Hatim said that some people say: When it sheds its raba iyya tooth, it is called raba; when it sheds its thaniyya tooth, it is called thani. Abu Ubayd said: Once a she-camel is impregnated, she is called khalifah and remains so for ten months; when she reaches ten months, she is called ushara. Abu Hatim said: When it sheds its thaniyya tooth, it is called thani; when it sheds its raba iyya tooth, it is called raba.
