Translation

Ali reported: The blood money for quasi-intentional killing is in three parts: thirty-three hiqqah, thirty-three jadha'ah, and thirty-four thaniyyah up to the oldest age, all pregnant. Another version says: The blood money for accidental killing is in four parts: twenty-five hiqqah, twenty-five jadha'ah, twenty-five bint labun, and twenty-five bint makhad. Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic uses technical camel age categories, retained in transliteration. The English witness supplies approximate age descriptions that are not all explicit in the Arabic wording.
