Arabic hadith text

وَعَن مُجاهدٍ قَالَ: قَضَى عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي شِبْهِ الْعَمْدِ ثَلَاثِينَ حِقَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ جَذَعَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ خَلِفَةً مَا بَيْنَ ثَنِيَّةٍ إِلَى بَازِلِ عَامِهَا. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Translation

Mujahid reported: Umar ruled that the blood money for quasi-intentional killing was thirty hiqqah, thirty jadha'ah, and forty pregnant camels from thaniyyah up to the oldest age. 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.
