قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ رَجُلٌ حَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مَجْنُونٌ فَضَرَبَهُ الْمَجْنُونُ ضَرْبَةً فَتَنَاوَلَ الرَّجُلُ السَّيْفَ مِنَ الْمَجْنُونِ فَضَرَبَهُ فَقَتَلَهُ فَقَالَ أَرَى أَنْ لَا يُقْتَلَ بِهِ وَ لَا يُغْرَمَ دِيَتَهُ وَ تَكُونُ دِيَتُهُ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ وَ لَا يَبْطُلُ دَمُهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Raib, from Abu Al Wardi who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, or Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Keep you<sup>asws</sup> well! An insane man attacks a man, so the insane one strikes with a strike, so the man grabs the sword from the insane, so he strikes him and kills him’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> see that he would not be killed due to it, nor fined his wergild, and his wergild would happen to be upon the Imam<sup>asws</sup>, and his blood would not be invalidated’.
