I said, How much for three? He said, Thirty camels. I said, How much for four? He said, Twenty camels. I said, When her wound is greater and her affliction stronger, is her blood-money then less? He said, Are you an Iraqi? I said, Rather, I am a scholar who seeks to verify things, or an ignorant man who seeks to learn. Said said, It is the sunna, my nephew. "
