It was narrated by al-Nasa'i and others (4). Ibn 'Abd al-Barr also narrated it, stating: "The book of 'Amr ibn Hazm is well-known among the jurists, and what it contains is agreed upon (5), except for a small amount."

The correct view is the former, because the report from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was transmitted mandating five [camels] for every tooth (4), so it is obligatory to act upon it, even if it contradicts the analogy (qiyas).

Furthermore, there are only two of them in the body, so the diya is due for both, and half is due for one, like all other organs of this kind. It was narrated from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) that he said: "And for one eye, fifty camels." Narrated by Malik, in...
