Sunan Abi Dawud 4591 (Book 41, Hadith 98) #24882
Blood-Wit for Accidental Murder

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that if someone is killed unintentionally, the blood-wit for an accidental murder should be paid. But if someone is killed intentionally, retaliation is due and anyone who tries to prevent it will be cursed by Allah, angels and all people.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet said: If anyone is killed blindly or, when people are throwing stones, by a stone or a whip, his blood-wit is the blood-wit for an accidental murder. But if anyone is killed intentionally, retaliation is due. If anyone tries to prevent it, the curse of Allah, of angels, and of all the people will rest on him.
قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ حُدِّثْتُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي عِمَّيَّا أَوْ رَمْيًا يَكُونُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِحَجَرٍ أَوْ بِسَوْطٍ فَعَقْلُهُ عَقْلُ خَطَإٍ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ عَمْدًا فَقَوْدُ يَدَيْهِ فَمَنْ حَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the consequences of killing someone unintentionally or accidentally. If a person is killed in this way, then the family of the deceased must receive a blood money or diyya as compensation. However, if a person is killed intentionally then qisas or retaliation must take place instead of diyya. Furthermore, anyone who tries to prevent qisas from taking place will be cursed by Allah and all people. This hadith teaches us that we should not take justice into our own hands but rather leave it up to Allah's judgement and follow His laws accordingly.
