Umdat at-TalibAl-Buhuti

The terminal phalanx (anmilah) of the thumb carries half of one-tenth of the blood money, whereas the terminal phalanx of any other finger carries one-third of one-tenth.

For every tooth the compensation is five camels.

Loss of any of the following faculties—hearing, sight, smell, taste, speech, or reason—or of the ability to walk, eat, or engage in marital relations, as well as permanent urinary or fecal incontinence, obliges payment of the full blood money.

The same full amount is due for the complete removal of any of the four principal types of hair: scalp hair, the beard, the eyebrows, and the eyelashes. For any other hair there is no fixed indemnity.

In the case of a one-eyed person, the loss of his remaining eye carries the full blood money. If such a person intentionally gouges out the eye of someone whose eye matches his own sound eye, he must pay the full blood money, and no retribution (qiṣāṣ) is taken.

Section

For any wound that falls short of a muʾdiḥah (1) the compensation is determined by discretionary appraisal (ḥukūmah). A muʾdiḥah—a wound that lays the bone bare and exposes it, even if only the breadth of a needle—entails five camels. A hāshimah, an injury that exposes and crushes the bone (2), requires ten camels, while a munaqqilah—which exposes, crushes, and displaces the bone (3)—carries fifteen camels.

(1) In manuscript B the wording is: "wa ma fi dun" (and whatever is below). (2) All extant copies carry this reading. Shaykh Uthman ibn Qaʾid remarks in al-Hidaya, 3:308: "This is exactly as it appears in the author’s own handwriting; the correct form, however, is wa tahshimahu, that is, ‘to shatter the bone.’" (3) Manuscripts A and B read: "al-ʿizam" (the bones).
أنملة إبهامٍ نِصْفُ عُشْرِها، وأنملة غيره ثُلُث عُشْرِها. وفي كُلّ سِنٍّ خَمْسٌ من الإبل. وفي كُلِّ مِن منفعةِ سَمْعٍ وبَصَرٍ وشَمٍّ وذَوْقٍ وكَلامٍ وعَقلٍ، ومنفعةِ مَشيٍ وأَكل ونِكاحٍ، وعَدَمِ استمساكِ بَوْلٍ أو غائطٍ الدّيةُ. وفي كُلِّ مِن الشُّعور الأربعةِ الدية؛ وهي شَعرُ رَأسٍ ولِحيَةٍ وحَاجبين وأَهْدابِ عينين. وما عَادَ سَقَطَ ما فيه. وفي عَينِ أعورٍ دِيتهُ كاملةً، فإن قَلَعَ عينَ صحيحٍ تُماثلُ صحيحتَه عَمْداً فعليه دية كامِلة، ولا قصاص. فَصْلٌ وفيما دون (١) المُوضِحةِ حُكومَةٌ. وفي المُوضِحَةِ التي تُوضِحُ العَظْمَ وتُبْرِزُه، ولو بِقَدْرِ إبرة خَمسٌ من الإبل. وفي الهَاشِمَةِ التي تُوضِحَ العَظْم وتُبْرِزُه (٢) عَشرة. وفي المُنَقّلَةِ التي تُوضِحُه وتَهْشِمُه وتَنْقُل العَظْمَ (٣) خَمْسَة عَشَر.
(١) في (ب): "وما في دون". (٢) كذا في جميع النسخ، قال الشيخ عثمان بن قائد في "الهداية" (٣/ ٣٠٨): "هكذا بخطّه، والصواب: وتَهشمه، أي: تكسر العظم" اهـ. (٣) في (أ) و (ب): "العظام".
