قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلٌ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مُتَعَمِّداً مَا تَوْبَتُهُ قَالَ يُمَكِّنُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ قُلْتُ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ قَالَ فَلْيُعْطِهِمُ الدِّيَةَ قُلْتُ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَعْلَمُوا بِذَلِكَ قَالَ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى الدِّيَةِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا صُرَراً ثُمَّ لْيَنْظُرْ مَوَاقِيتَ الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيُلْقِهَا فِي دَارِهِمْ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Husayn Bin Ahmad Al Minqary, from Isa Al Zaif who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man kills a man deliberately, what is his repentance?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Make himself available (to the guardians of the killed one)’. I said, ‘He fears that they would kill him’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So let him give them the wergild’. I said, ‘He fears that they would come to know him due to that’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So let him consider the wergild, so let him make it as small packages, then await the timings of the Prayers, so let him cast these in their houses’.
