Explanation

This Hadīth shows that the blood money for the semi-intentional killing – which results from hitting with something that generally does not kill such as a stick – is as binding as the blood money for intentional killing. Its amount is one hundred camels; thirty of which should have completed four years of age and started the fifth, thirty should have completed three years of age and started the fourth, and forty should be pregnant she-camels. Mostly, semi-intentional killing is not caused by animosity or the carrying of weapons. Rather, the devil might whisper to people to attack each other because of joking or playing. So, they engage in fighting, leading to unintentional killing and thus blood is shed and payment of blood money becomes obligatory.
