The Diyah is prescribed for the two testicles based on the Prophet's statement: "And for the two testicles is the Diyah." This is because they possess beauty and function, as progeny results from them, thus necessitating the full Diyah, similar to the two hands.

The narration from Al-Zuhri, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, confirms that the established Sunnah mandates the Diyah for the vertebra and the Diyah for the two testicles.
