Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Umar ibn al-
Khattab demanded of the people at Mina, "If anyone has knowledge of
blood-money, let him inform me." Ad-Dahhak ibn Sufyan al-Kilabi stood
up and said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, wrote to me that the wife of Ashyam ad-Dibabi inherited
from the blood-money of her husband." Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him,
"Go into the tent until I come to you." When Umar ibn al-Khattab came
in, ad-Dahhak told him about it and Umar ibn al-Khattab gave a
decision based on that.

Malik said that Ibn Shihab said, "The precedent of the sunna in
the intentional murder is that when the relatives of the murdered
person relinquish retaliation, the blood-money is owed by the murderer
from his own property unless the tribe helps him with it willingly."

Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Amr ibn Shuayb that
a man of the Banu Mudlij called Qatada threw a sword at his son and it
struck his thigh. The wound bled profusely and he died. Suraqa ibn
Jusham came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and mentioned that to him Umar said
to him, "At the watering place of Qudayd count one hundred and twenty
camels and wait until I come to you." When Umar ibn al-Khattab came to
him, he took thirty four-year-old camels, thirty five-year-old camels,
and forty pregnant camels from them. Then he said, "Where is the
brother of the slain man?" He said, "Here." He said, "Take them. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'The killer gets nothing.' "
