حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، أَنْبَأَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ قُتِلَ خَطَأً فَدِيَتُهُ مِنَ الإِبِلِ ثَلاَثُونَ بِنْتَ مَخَاضٍ وَثَلاَثُونَ ابْنَةَ لَبُونٍ وَثَلاَثُونَ حِقَّةً وَعَشَرَةُ بَنِي لَبُونٍ " . وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُقَوِّمُهَا عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقُرَى أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ أَوْ عَدْلَهَا مِنَ الْوَرِقِ وَيُقَوِّمُهَا عَلَى أَزْمَانِ الإِبِلِ إِذَا غَلَتْ رَفَعَ فِي ثَمَنِهَا وَإِذَا هَانَتْ نَقَصَ مِنْ ثَمَنِهَا عَلَى نَحْوِ الزَّمَانِ مَا كَانَ فَبَلَغَ قِيمَتُهَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا بَيْنَ الأَرْبَعِمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ إِلَى ثَمَانِمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ أَوْ عَدْلُهَا مِنَ الْوَرِقِ ثَمَانِيَةُ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ مَنْ كَانَ عَقْلُهُ فِي الْبَقَرِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَقَرِ مِائَتَىْ بَقَرَةٍ وَمَنْ كَانَ عَقْلُهُ فِي الشَّاءِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الشَّاءِ أَلْفَىْ شَاةٍ .

Ishaq ibn Mansur al-Marwazi informed us: Yazid ibn Harun informed us: Muhammad ibn Rashid informed us, from Sulayman ibn Musa, from Amr ibn Shuayb, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, ‘Whoever is killed by mistake, his blood money in camels is thirty one-year-old she-camels, thirty two-year-old she-camels, thirty three-year-old she-camels, and ten two-year-old male camels.’ The Messenger of Allah used to value it for town-dwellers at four hundred dinars or their equivalent in silver. Its valuation changed over time with camel prices: when they rose, its value rose; when they fell, its value fell, according to the conditions of the time. In the time of the Messenger of Allah its value ranged from four hundred to eight hundred dinars, or their equivalent in silver—eight thousand dirhams. The Messenger of Allah ruled that for those whose compensation was paid in cattle, it was two hundred cows, and for those whose compensation was paid in sheep, two thousand sheep.’

The Arabic lists the camel age classes and adds valuation in dinars or silver, which varied with camel prices, followed by alternative cattle and sheep amounts. The English witness adds a grading label, omitted here.
