سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ سَارِقٍ دَخَلَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ لِيَسْرِقَ مَتَاعَهَا فَلَمَّا جَمَعَ الثِّيَابَ تَابَعَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ فَكَابَرَهَا عَلَى نَفْسِهَا فَوَاقَعَهَا فَتَحَرَّكَ ابْنُهَا فَقَامَ فَقَتَلَهُ بِفَأْسٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ حَمَلَ الثِّيَابَ وَ ذَهَبَ لِيَخْرُجَ حَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ بِالْفَأْسِ فَقَتَلَتْهُ فَجَاءَ أَهْلُهُ يَطْلُبُونَ بِدَمِهِ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) اقْضِ عَلَى هَذَا كَمَا وَصَفْتُ لَكَ فَقَالَ يَضْمَنُ مَوَالِيهِ الَّذِينَ يَطْلُبُونَ بِدَمِهِ دِيَةَ الْغُلَامِ وَ يَضْمَنُ السَّارِقُ فِيمَا تَرَكَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ بِمُكَابَرَتِهَا عَلَى فَرْجِهَا أَنَّهُ زَانٍ وَ هُوَ فِي مَالِهِ غَرِيمُهُ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا فِي قَتْلِهَا إِيَّاهُ شَيْءٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنْ كَابَرَ امْرَأَةً لِيَفْجُرَ بِهَا فَقَتَلَتْهُ فَلَا دِيَةَ لَهُ وَ لَا قَوَدَ .
Translation
Ali, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Hafs, from Abdullah Bin Talha, (The narrator) says, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> him<sup>asws</sup> about a male thief who entered upon a woman in order to steal her belongings. So when he gathered the clothes, he followed his soul, so he overcame her and fell upon her. So her son stirred, so he (the thief), stood up and killed him with an axe which was with him. So when he was free, he carried the clothes and gold in order to exit. She attacked him with the axe, so she killed him. So his family members came over in the morning seeking his blood. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> shall judge upon this just as it has been described to you’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘His guardians, those who were seeking his blood are responsible for the wergild of the boy, and the thief is responsible with regards to what he has left (as legacy), four thousand Dirhams due to him having forced himself upon her chastity. It is adultery, and it’s fine is upon his wealth, and there is nothing upon her regarding her having killed him. Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The one who forces himself upon a woman in order to be immoral with her, so she kills him, so there is no wergild for him, nor a retaliation’.
