Hadith.5239 - Abd Al-Rahman ibn Al-Hajjaj narrated from Aban ibn Taghlib, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah : "What do you say about a man who cuts off one finger of a woman? How much is due for it?" Imam replied: "Ten camels." I asked: "If he cuts off two (fingers)?" Imam said: "Twenty (camels)." I asked: "If he cuts off three (fingers)?" Imam said: "Thirty (camels)." I asked: "If he cuts off four (fingers)?" Imam said: "Twenty (camels)." I said: "Glory be to Allah (swt)! He cuts off three fingers, and the compensation is thirty, but if he cuts off four, it becomes twenty? We used to hear this in Iraq and would disassociate ourselves from anyone who said it, claiming that whoever said this was influenced by Satan." Abu Abdullah replied: "Wait, O' Aban! This is how the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) ruled. A woman's compensation equals that of a man up to one-third of the diyyah (blood money). Once it reaches one-third, the woman's share reverts to half. O' Aban, you are applying analogy (qiyas) here, but the Sunnah, when subjected to analogy, destroys the religion."
