سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَعْمَى فَقَأَ عَيْنَ صَحِيحٍ [مُتَعَمِّداً] قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ إِنَّ عَمْدَ الْأَعْمَى مِثْلُ الْخَطَإِ هَذَا فِيهِ الدِّيَةُ مِنْ مَالِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ فَإِنَّ دِيَتَهُ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ وَ لَا يَبْطُلُ حَقُّ مُسْلِمٍ .


Translation

Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Ammar Al Sabaty, from Abu Ubeyda who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about a blind (man) who blinded an eye of a correct one deliberately. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Abu Ubeyda! The deliberation of the blind is like the error. In this in the wergild from his own wealth. So if there does not happen to be wealth for him, so his wergild is upon the Imam<sup>asws</sup>, and a right of a Muslim would not be invalidated’.
