The Book of Oaths (qasamah), Retaliation and Blood Money

"‏ وَفِيمَا هُنَالِكَ مِنَ الأَصَابِعِ عَشْرًا عَشْرًا ‏"

when the letter was found that was with the family of 'Amr bin Hazm, which they said the Messenger of Allah had written to them, they found in it, with regard to fingers, that the Diyahwas ten (Camels) for each.

"‏ هَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ سَوَاءٌ ‏"

"this and this are the same,": meaning the little finger and the thumb.

أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَهَذِهِ وَهَذِهِ سَوَاءٌ الإِبْهَامُ وَالْخِنْصَرُ ‏.‏

"This and this are the same: The little finger and the thumb (sahih)

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ الأَصَابِعُ عَشْرٌ عَشْرٌ ‏.‏

"The (Diyah for) fingers are ten each."

"‏ وَفِي الأَصَابِعِ عَشْرٌ عَشْرٌ ‏"

"When the Messenger of Allah conquered Makkah, he said in his Khutbah: "(The Diyah) for fingers is ten each."

"‏ الأَصَابِعُ سَوَاءٌ ‏"

"The fingers are the same."

"‏ وَفِي الْمَوَاضِحِ خَمْسٌ خَمْسٌ ‏"

"When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) conquered Makkah , he said in his Khutbah: 'For any wound that exposes the bone, the diyah is five (camels) each.'"
