أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يَزِيدُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَلاَ وَإِنَّ قَتِيلَ الْخَطَإِ الْعَمْدِ قَتِيلَ السَّوْطِ وَالْعَصَا مِنْهَا أَرْبَعُونَ فِي بُطُونِهَا أَوْلاَدُهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the punishment for accidental killing on purpose according to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It was narrated from Ya’qub bin Aws that a man from among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ narrated to him that when he entered Makkah during the Year of Conquest, he said “Indeed, accidental killing on purpose is killing with a whip or stick, for which forty she-camels with their young in their wombs” should be given as punishment. This means that if someone accidentally kills another person while using a whip or stick, they must pay forty she-camels as compensation and this will serve as an atonement for them.
