أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ ابْنِ إِسْحَقَ أَخْبَرَنِي دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ عِکْرِمَةَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَائِدَةِ الَّتِي قَالَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَاحْکُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَوْ أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ إِلَی الْمُقْسِطِينَ إِنَّمَا نَزَلَتْ فِي الدِّيَةِ بَيْنَ النَّضِيرِ وَبَيْنَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَذَلِکَ أَنَّ قَتْلَی النَّضِيرِ کَانَ لَهُمْ شَرَفٌ يُودَوْنَ الدِّيَةَ کَامِلَةً وَأَنَّ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ کَانُوا يُودَوْنَ نِصْفَ الدِّيَةِ فَتَحَاکَمُوا فِي ذَلِکَ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ذَلِکَ فِيهِمْ فَحَمَلَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَی الْحَقِّ فِي ذَلِکَ فَجَعَلَ الدِّيَةَ سَوَائً
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4748
It was narrated from Dáwud bin Al-Husain, from ‘Ikrimah, from Ibn ‘Abbas, that the Verses in Al Ma‘idah, in which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says: “Either judge between them, or turn away from them. If you turn away from them up to: those who act justly.” — were revealed concerning the matter of blood money between An-NadIr and Quraizah. That was because the slain of An-Nadir were of noble status, so the blood money would be paid in full for them, but for Banu Quraizah only half of the blood money would be paid. They referred the matter to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم for judgment, then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed that concerning them, so the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم told them to do the right thing and he made the blood money equal. (Da‘if)
