2635. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās, who attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ: "Whoever kills out of folly or for tribal motives, using a rock, a whip, or a stick; he must pay the blood money for killing by mistake. Whoever kills deliberately, he is to be killed in retaliation. Whoever tries to prevent that, upon him is the curse of Allāh, the angels and all the people, and no change nor equitable exchange will be accepted from him.”[1] (Sahih)
2635 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، رَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ قَتَلَ فِي عِمِّيَّةٍ أَوْ عَصَبِيَّةٍ بِحَجَرٍ أَوْ سَوْطٍ أَوْ عَصًا فَعَلَيْهِ عَقْلُ الْخَطَأِ، وَمَنْ قَتَلَ عَمْدًا فَهُوَ قَوَدٌ، وَمَنْ حَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ، لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلَا عَدْلٌ»

a. Folly or tribal motives, means that two parties fight each other and they make use of stones, sticks clubs and whips etc. If someone is killed in this fight, it is very difficult to determine and pinpoint the killer, so no one can be killed in retaliation. In such cases blood money is the essential punishment. b. Killing in retaliation is a punishment fixed by Allāh in the revealed Divine law, therefore, putting up any kind of hindrances to it is a harshly censured crime.
