Hadith.5301 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a forearm (the arm below the elbow) that was struck and resulted in the fracture of the wrist bone. Imam (as) replied: If the hand becomes paralyzed or all the fingers of the hand become immobile due to the injury, then two-thirds of the blood money (diyyah) of the entire hand is applicable. Imam (as) further stated: If only some of the fingers become paralyzed while others remain functional, then for each finger that becomes paralyzed, two-thirds of its individual diyyah is applicable. The same ruling applies to the leg and foot if the toes of the foot become paralyzed.

5302 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى اَلْخَزَّازُ عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "فِي اَلْإِصْبَعِ اَلزَّائِدَةِ إِذَا قُطِعَتْ ثُلُثُ دِيَةِ اَلصَّحِيحَةِ".

Hadith.5302 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said that if an extra (supernumerary) finger is cut off, then one-third of the blood money (diyyah) of a normal finger is applicable.

5303 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "قَضَى أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي اَلْجُرْحِ فِي اَلْأَصَابِعِ إِذَا أَوْضَحَ اَلْعَظْمُ عُشْرَ دِيَةِ اَلْإِصْبَعِ إِذَا لَمْ يُرِدِ اَلْمَجْرُوحُ أَنْ يَقْتَصَّ".

Hadith.5303 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said that Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled regarding an injury to the fingers that if the wound exposes the bone, then one-tenth of the blood money (diyyah) of that finger is due, provided that the injured person does not wish to seek retaliation (qisas).

Hadith.5304 - Ibn Mahbub narrated from Hisham ibn Salim, from Ziyad ibn Suqah, from Al-Hakam ibn 'Utaybah, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), "May Allah rectify your affairs. Some people have thirty-two teeth in their mouths, while others have twenty-eight. Upon how many teeth is the diyyah (blood money) calculated?" Imam (as) said: "The natural creation consists of twenty-eight teeth - twelve in the front of the mouth and sixteen in the back. The diyyah of the teeth has been distributed based on this. The diyyah for each of the twelve front teeth, if broken and completely lost, is five hundred dirhams, making the total diyyah for them six thousand dirhams. The diyyah for each of the sixteen molars, if broken and completely lost, is two hundred and fifty dirhams, making the total diyyah for them four thousand dirhams. Thus, the total diyyah for both the front and back teeth amounts to ten thousand dirhams. The diyyah has been set according to this calculation, so any extra teeth beyond twenty-eight have no diyyah, nor is there a diyyah for any missing teeth beyond this standard count." And thus, we found it recorded in the book of Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as). Al-Hakam said: I then asked, "Before today, diyyah (blood money) used to be taken from camels, cows, and sheep. What is the ruling on that?" Imam (as) said: "That was in the desert communities before Islam. But when Islam became widespread and silver (warq) became abundant among people, Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), set the diyyah in terms of silver." Al-Hakam continued: I then asked Imam (as), "What about those who live in the desert today? What should be taken from them as diyyah - silver or camels?" Imam (as) said: "Camels are equivalent to silver, rather, they are even better than silver for diyyah. Indeed, they used to take one hundred camels for unintentional killing (diyat Al-khata'), with each camel being valued at one hundred dirhams, making a total of ten thousand dirhams." I asked: "What are the required ages of the one hundred camels?" Imam (as) said: "They should all be male camels that have completed one full year."

5305 - فِي رِوَايَةِ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ: "قَضَى أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي رَجُلٍ قُتِلَ وَ لَهُ وَلِيَّانِ فَعَفَا أَحَدُهُمَا وَ أَرَادَ اَلْآخَرُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ قَالَ "يَقْتُلُ وَ يَرُدُّ عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اَلْمَقْتُولِ اَلْمُقَادِ نِصْفَ اَلدِّيَةِ" ".

Hadith.5305 - In the narration of Jameel ibn Darraj, it is reported that Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled regarding a man who was killed and had two heirs. One of them forgave the killer, while the other wanted to proceed with the execution. Imam (as) ruled: "He may execute the killer but must return half of the blood money (diyyah) to the heirs of the slain."

5306 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَلاَّدٍ اَلْحَنَّاطِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قُتِلَ وَ لَهُ أَبٌ وَ أُمٌّ وَ اِبْنٌ فَقَالَ اَلاِبْنُ أَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَ قَاتِلَ أَبِي وَ قَالَ اَلْآخَرُ أَنَا أَعْفُو وَ قَالَ اَلْآخَرُ أَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ آخُذَ اَلدِّيَةَ قَالَ "فَلْيُعْطِ اَلاِبْنُ أُمَّ اَلْمَقْتُولِ اَلسُّدُسَ مِنَ اَلدِّيَةِ وَ يُعْطِي وَرَثَةَ اَلْقَاتِلِ اَلسُّدُسَ مِنَ اَلدِّيَةِ حَقَّ اَلْأَبِ اَلَّذِي عَفَا وَ يَقْتُلُهُ".

Hadith.5306 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Walad Al-Hannat that he asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who was killed and had a father, a mother, and a son. The son said: "I want to kill the murderer of my father," the mother said: "I forgive," and the father said: "I want to take the blood money (diyyah)." Imam (as) replied: "The son should give the mother of the murdered man one-sixth of the blood money and give the heirs of the murderer one-sixth of the blood money in the right of the father who forgave, and then he may kill the murderer."

5307 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَلاَّدٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قُتِلَ وَ لَهُ أَوْلاَدٌ صِغَارٌ وَ كِبَارٌ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَفَا أَوْلاَدُهُ اَلْكِبَارُ فَقَالَ "لاَ يُقْتَلُ وَ يَجُوزُ عَفْوُ اَلْكِبَارِ فِي حِصَصِهِمْ فَإِذَا كَبِرَ اَلصِّغَارُ كَانَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَطْلُبُوا حَقَّهُمْ مِنَ اَلدِّيَةِ". وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ: "أَنَّهُ إِذَا عَفَا وَاحِدٌ مِنَ اَلْأَوْلِيَاءِ عَنِ اَلدَّمِ اِرْتَفَعَ اَلْقَوَدُ".

Hadith.5307 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Walad who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who was killed and had both young and adult children. I asked: "What if his adult children forgave (the murderer)?" Imam (as) replied: "The murderer will not be killed, and the forgiveness of the adults is valid concerning their shares. When the younger children reach adulthood, they have the right to claim their share of the blood money (diyyah)." It has also been narrated: "If one of the heirs forgives regarding the blood, the retribution (qisas) is nullified."

Hadith.5308 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Malik ibn Atiyyah from his father from Salamah ibn Kuhayl who said: A man who had killed another man by mistake was brought to Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as). Imam Ali (as) asked him: "Who are your relatives and kin?" The man replied: "I have no relatives or kin in this town." Imam Ali (as) then asked: "From which town are you?" The man said: "I am a man from Mosul. I was born there and have relatives and family there." Imam Ali (as) inquired about him but found that he had no relatives or kin in Kufa. So, Imam Ali (as) wrote to his governor in Mosul: "After the greeting, so-and-so (mentioning his name and description) has killed a Muslim man by mistake. He claims that he is a man from Mosul and has relatives and family there. I have sent him to you with my messenger (mentioning his name and description). When they arrive, God willing, and you read my letter, investigate his situation and inquire about his Muslim relatives. If he indeed belongs to Mosul, was born there, and you find that he has relatives among the Muslims, gather them together. Then, if there is a man among them who inherits from him with a rightful share in the Book (of Allah (swt)) and is not barred from his inheritance by any other relative, obligate him to pay the blood money (diyyah) over the course of three years. If the deceased has a relative who is entitled to inherit according to the Book (Qur'an), then obligate that heir to pay the blood money (diyyah) over three years. However, if he has no relative entitled to inheritance from his family, and his relatives are equal in lineage, then distribute the blood money (diyyah) equally among his paternal and maternal male relatives who are adults and Muslims. Assign two-thirds of the blood money to his paternal relatives and one-third to his maternal relatives. If he has no maternal relatives, distribute the entire blood money among his paternal male relatives who are adults and Muslims. Collect the blood money from them over three years. If he has neither paternal nor maternal relatives, distribute the blood money among the people of Mosul who were born and raised there, and do not include anyone else from other regions. Collect the amount from them over three years in annual instalments until the full amount is paid, God willing. However, if so-and-so has no relatives in Mosul and is not from its people, and his claim is false, then send him back to me with my messenger, so-and-so, God willing. I am his guardian and responsible for paying his blood money, and the blood of a Muslim cannot be disregarded."

Hadith.5309 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Walad, from Abu Abdullah (as) said: "There is no mutual liability among the People of the Covenant (Ahl Al-Dhimma) regarding crimes they commit, whether it be murder or bodily injury. Such compensation is taken from their wealth. If they have no wealth, the responsibility for the crime returns to the leader of the Muslims because they pay the jizyah tax to him just as a slave pays a tax to his master." Imam (as) further stated: "They are under the authority of the Imam, and whoever among them embraces Islam becomes free."

Hadith.5310 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Ayyub, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "Commander of the Faithful (as) would assign the liability for the offense committed by a mentally impaired person (ma'tooh) to his family (Aqilah), whether it was accidental or intentional."
