Hadith 35438
Yahya related to me from Malik that he heard that Umar ibn Abd
al-Aziz gave a decision that when a jew or christian was killed, his
blood-money was half the blood-money of a free muslim.
Malik
said, "What is done in our community, is that a muslim is not killed
for a kafir unless the muslim kills him by deceit. Then he is killed
for it."
Muwatta Malik Book 43, Hadith 29

Malik related to me that he had heard that Marwan ibn al-Hakam gave a
decision about a slave who was injured that the person who injured him
had to pay what he had diminished of the value of the slave.
Malik said, "What is done in our community is that for the head wound
of a slave that bares the bone, there is a twentieth of his price. The
head wound which splinters the bone is three twentieths of his price.
Both the wound to the brain and the belly wound are a third of his
price. Besides these four, any other types of injury that decrease the
price of the slave are considered after the slave is better and well,
and one sees what the value of the slave is after his injury and what
his value whole was before he had the injury. Then the one who injured
him pays the difference between the two values." Muwatta Malik Book 43, Hadith 28

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said
that Sulayman ibn Yasar said, "The blood-money of a magian is eight
hundred dirhams."
Malik said, "This is what is done in our
community."
Malik said, "The blood-monies of the jew,
christian, and magian in their injuries, is according to the injury of
the muslims in their blood-moneys. The head wound is a twentieth of
his full blood-money. The wound that opens the head is a third of his
blood-money. The belly-wound is a third of his blood-money. All their
injuries are according to this calculation." Muwatta Malik Book 43, Hadith 30
