Jami at-Tirmidhi 1387 (Book 16, Hadith 2) #26966
Punishment for Deliberate Killing of a Believer

SUMMARY: Killing a believer deliberately is punishable by death or the payment of blood-money.

Narrated Amr bin Shu'aib: from his father, from his grandfather that the Prophet said: "Whoever kills a believer deliberately, he is handed over to the guardians of the one killed. If they wish to, they have him killed, and if they wish to, they take the blood-money. That is thirty Hiqqah, thirty Jadha'ahs and forty pregnant camels. Whatever (amount more) they require from him, than that is for them (if they choose)". THat is because of the severity of blood-money.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَبَّانُ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ هِلاَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا دُفِعَ إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَقْتُولِ فَإِنْ شَاءُوا قَتَلُوا وَإِنْ شَاءُوا أَخَذُوا الدِّيَةَ وَهِيَ ثَلاَثُونَ حِقَّةً وَثَلاَثُونَ جَذَعَةً وَأَرْبَعُونَ خَلِفَةً وَمَا صَالَحُوا عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ لَهُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَذَلِكَ لِتَشْدِيدِ الْعَقْلِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the punishment for killing a believer deliberately. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that if someone kills a believer deliberately, they are handed over to the guardians of the one killed. The guardians then have two options; they can either choose to have them killed or take blood-money as compensation. The amount of blood money is thirty Hiqqahs, thirty Jadha'ahs and forty pregnant camels. If more money is required from them than that, it is up to the guardians to decide what should be done with it. This hadith emphasizes how serious an offense it is to kill another person and how important it is for justice to be served in such cases.
