Suraqa ibnJusham came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and mentioned that to him Umar saidto him, "At the watering place of Qudayd count one hundred and twentycamels and wait until I come to you." When Umar ibn al-Khattab came tohim, he took thirty four-year-old camels, thirty five-year-old camels,and forty pregnant camels from them. Then he said, "Where is thebrother of the slain man?" He said, "Here." He said, "Take them. TheMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,'The killer gets nothing.' "
