1342. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ judged that the oath is due from the one the claim is made against. (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others: The proof is due from the claimant, and the oath is due from the one the claim is made against.
١٣٤٢ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَسْكَرٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجُمَحِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى، أَنَّ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ؛ أَنَّ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعِي وَالْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ.

If someone lodges a lawsuit in the court, he has to produce witnesses in his favor, and the respondent needs not produce any witness against the claimant, swearing an oath will be enough for him. the near relatives of a man, on the side of his father. This is the view of Mālik and Ash-Shāfi‘ī. Some of them said the blood-money is due from men, not women or children of a tribe. Each man among them pays a quarter of a Dīnār – and some of them said half a Dīnār – to complete the blood-money. Otherwise the nearest of them in relation are required to pay it.
'Āqil' means blood money and 'Āqilah' means the one who bears blood-money or who pays the blood money. 'Āqil' also means to stop or defend and safeguard. As 'Āqilah' defends the murderer and pays on his behalf that is why the one who pays blood-money is called 'Āqilah'. (For more details see Al-Mughnī v. 12. p. 39-41.) according to Imām Abū Hanīfah, for a deliberate murder, blood money must be paid within three years. Al-Mughnī. v. 12 p. 13.)
