Hadith 35431
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Muslim
ibn Jundub from Aslam, the mawla of Umar ibn al-Khattab that Umar ibn
al-Khattab decided on a camel for a molar, a camel for a collar-bone,
and a camel for a rib.

fifty camels. Each finger
has ten camels."
Malik said, "The reckoning of the fingers is
thirty-three dinars for each fingertip, and that is three and a third
shares of camels." Muwatta Malik Book 43, Hadith 21

Yahya related to me from Malik that
Yahya ibn Said heard Said ibn al-Musayyab say, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab
decided on a camel for each molar, and Muawiya ibn Abi Sufyan decided
on five camels for each molar."
Said ibn al-Musayyab said,
"The blood-money is less in the judgement of Umar ibn al-Khattab and
more in the judgement of Muawiya. Had it been me, I would have made it
two camels for each molar. That is the fair blood-money, and every one
who strives with ijtihad is rewarded." Muwatta Malik Book 43, Hadith 23
