Sunan Ibn Majah 2628 (Book 21, Hadith 14) #31982
Abolishing Customs of Ignorance Period

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) abolished all customs of the Ignorance period and declared that any person killed by mistake is entitled to a blood money of one hundred camels, forty of which should be pregnant she-camels with their youngs in their wombs.

It was narrated from Ibn Umar that : the Messenger of Allah stood up on the Day of the conquest of Makkah, on the steps of the Ka'bah. He praised and glorified Allah (SWT), then he said: "Praise is to Allah (SWT) who has fulfilled His promise, granted victory to His slave and defeated the Confederates alone. The one who is killed by mistake is the one who is killed with a whip or a stick; for him the blood money is one hundred camels, of which forty should be pregnant she-camels with their youngs in their wombs. Every custom of Ignorance period, and every blood claim, is beneath these two feet of mine (ie is abolished), except for the custodianship of the Ka'bah and the provision of water for the pilgrims, which I confirm still belong to the people to whom they belonged before".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُدْعَانَ، سَمِعَهُ مِنَ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَامَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ وَهُوَ عَلَى دَرَجِ الْكَعْبَةِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَدَقَ وَعْدَهُ وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَهَزَمَ الأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ أَلاَ إِنَّ قَتِيلَ الْخَطَإِ قَتِيلَ السَّوْطِ وَالْعَصَا فِيهِ مِائَةٌ مِنَ الإِبِلِ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعُونَ خَلِفَةً فِي بُطُونِهَا أَوْلاَدُهَا أَلاَ إِنَّ كَلَّ مَأْثُرَةٍ كَانَتْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَدَمٍ تَحْتَ قَدَمَىَّ هَاتَيْنِ إِلاَّ مَا كَانَ مِنْ سِدَانَةِ الْبَيْتِ وَسِقَايَةِ الْحَاجِّ أَلاَ إِنِّي قَدْ أَمْضَيْتُهُمَا لأَهْلِهِمَا كَمَا كَانَا

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day Makkah was conquered, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ stood on the steps of Ka'bah and praised Allah SWT for fulfilling His promise and granting victory to His slave. He then declared that all customs from the time before Islam are abolished except for two things; custodianship of Ka'bah and provision of water for pilgrims. He also said that anyone killed by mistake is entitled to a blood money which is one hundred camels, forty out of them should be pregnant she-camels with their youngs in their wombs. This hadith teaches us about justice, mercy, forgiveness and abolishment of wrong practices from pre-Islamic times. It also shows us how important it is to take responsibility for our actions as well as respect other people's rights even if they are not Muslims or do not follow Islamic teachings.
