وَعَن طَاوُوس عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي عِمِّيَّةٍ فِي رَمْيٍ يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحِجَارَةِ أَوْ جَلْدٍ بِالسِّيَاطِ أَوْ ضَرْبٍ بِعَصًا فَهُوَ خَطَأٌ عقله الْخَطَأِ وَمَنْ قَتَلَ عَمْدًا فَهُوَ قَوَدٌ وَمَنْ حَالَ دُونَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَغَضَبُهُ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ
Tawus reported from Ibn Abbas, from the Messenger of God, who said: ‘Whoever is killed in a confused affray, by stones thrown among people, by whipping with lashes, or by blows with a stick, it is accidental, and accidental blood money is due. Whoever kills deliberately is subject to retaliation. Whoever obstructs this, upon him is God’s curse and wrath; no expiation or compensation will be accepted from him.’ Abu Dawud and al-Nasa'i transmitted it.
Translation notes
The English witness adds an explanatory footnote on situations where the killer is unknown or intent is absent; this is not present in the Arabic text. The final phrase is translated literally as expiation or compensation.
