Sunan an-Nasai 4790 (Book 45, Hadith 85) #19323
Blood Money for Accidental Killing

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that if someone is killed accidentally, the blood money should be paid for them. If someone kills deliberately, then retaliation is upon them and anyone who tries to prevent it will be cursed by Allah and all people.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbad, who attributed it to the prophet, said: "Whoever is killed in the blind or by something thrown, with a rock, a whip, or a stick, then the blood money to be paid for him is the blood money for accidental killing. Whoever kills deliberately, then retaliation is upon him, and whoever tries to prevent that, upon him is the curse of Allah, the Angels and all the people, and Allah will not accept any Sarf nor 'Adl from him".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي عِمِّيَّةٍ أَوْ رِمِّيَّةٍ بِحَجَرٍ أَوْ سَوْطٍ أَوْ عَصًا فَعَقْلُهُ عَقْلُ الْخَطَإِ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ عَمْدًا فَهُوَ قَوَدٌ وَمَنْ حَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لاَ يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ صَرْفًا وَلاَ عَدْلاً

QUICK LESSONS:
Pay blood money for accidental killing; carry out qisas when killing deliberately; do not try to prevent qisas from taking place; accept justice according Islamic law; show compassion towards those affected by accidental killings; hold accountable those responsible for deliberate killings .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that if someone is killed accidentally, then the blood money should be paid as compensation for their death. If someone kills deliberately, then retaliation or qisas must take place instead of paying a blood money. Anyone who tries to prevent this from happening will receive a curse from Allah and all people alike. Furthermore, no sarf or adl can be accepted by Allah in such cases as they are not applicable here. Sarf refers to exchanging something of equal value while adl refers to justice being served in an appropriate manner according to Islamic law.
