قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فِي رَجُلٍ وَ غُلَامٍ اشْتَرَكَا فِي قَتْلِ رَجُلٍ فَقَتَلَاهُ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا بَلَغَ الْغُلَامُ خَمْسَةَ أَشْبَارٍ اقْتُصَّ مِنْهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَلَغَ خَمْسَةَ أَشْبَارٍ قُضِيَ بِالدِّيَةِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said regarding a man and a boy both having participated in killing a man, so they both killed him. So Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When the boy reaches five open palm widths (In height), he would be retaliated from, and if he does not happen to reach five open palm widths (in height), he would be judged with the wergild’.
