سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ جِرَاحَاتِ الرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَاءِ فِي الدِّيَاتِ وَ الْقِصَاصِ فَقَالَ الرِّجَالُ وَ النِّسَاءُ فِي الْقِصَاصِ سَوَاءٌ السِّنُّ بِالسِّنِّ وَ الشَّجَّةُ بِالشَّجَّةِ وَ الْإِصْبَعُ بِالْإِصْبَعِ سَوَاءً حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ الْجِرَاحَاتُ ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ فَإِذَا جَاوَزَتِ الثُّلُثَ صُيِّرَتْ دِيَةُ الرَّجُلِ فِي الْجِرَاحَاتِ ثُلُثَيِ الدِّيَةِ وَ دِيَةُ النِّسَاءِ ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Raib, from Al Halby who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> was asked about injuries of the men and the women regarding the wergild and the retaliation, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The men and the women regarding the retaliation are equal, the tooth with the tooth, and the fracture with the fracture, and the finger with the finger, same, until the injuries reach a third of the wergild. So when it exceeds the third, the wergild of the men with regards to the injuries become two-third of the wergild and a wergild of the women, a one-third of the wergild’.
