Sunan Abi Dawud 4583 (Book 41, Hadith 90) #24874
Blood-Wit for Covenanted Man

SUMMARY: The blood-wit for a man who makes a covenant is half of the blood-wit for a free man.

Narrated 'Amr b. Suh'aib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported the Messenger of Allah said: The blood-wit for a man who makes a covenant is half of the blood-wit for a free man. Abu Dawud said: It has been transmitted by Usamah b. Zaid al-Laithi and 'Abd al-Rahman b. al-Harith on the authority of 'Amr b. Suh'aib in similar manner.
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ دِيَةُ الْمُعَاهِدِ نِصْفُ دِيَةِ الْحُرِّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ مِثْلَهُ

Be honest, Keep your promises, Respect agreements
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the concept of blood money or diya in Islamic law. It states that if someone has made a covenant and then breaks it, they must pay half of the amount of diya that would be paid by a free man. Diya is an important part of Islamic law as it serves as compensation to those who have been wronged or harmed in some way. This hadith teaches us to be honest and keep our promises so that we do not have to pay any diyas. It also teaches us to respect agreements and contracts we make with others and not break them without due cause.
