حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ بَنِي عَدِيٍّ قُتِلَ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ دِيَتَهُ اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ

Diyya is an amount of money paid to the family of a person who has been wrongfully killed or injured as compensation for their loss.
