مَا كَانَ فِي الْجَسَدِ مِنْهُ اثْنَانِ فَفِي الْوَاحِدِ نِصْفُ الدِّيَةِ مِثْلُ الْيَدَيْنِ وَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ رَجُلٌ فُقِئَتْ عَيْنُهُ قَالَ نِصْفُ الدِّيَةِ قُلْتُ فَرَجُلٌ قُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ قَالَ فِيهِ نِصْفُ الدِّيَةِ قُلْتُ فَرَجُلٌ ذَهَبَتْ إِحْدَى بَيْضَتَيْهِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْيَسَارَ فَفِيهَا الدِّيَةُ قُلْتُ وَ لِمَ أَ لَيْسَ قُلْتَ مَا كَانَ فِي الْجَسَدِ اثْنَانِ فَفِي كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ نِصْفُ الدِّيَةِ قَالَ لِأَنَّ الْوَلَدَ مِنَ الْبَيْضَةِ الْيُسْرَى .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘There is nothing in the body which are two, so with regards to one of them is half the wergild, like the two hands, and the two eyes’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I said, ‘A man was blinded with an eye. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Half the wergild’. I said, ‘So a man whose hand is cut off?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Regarding it is half the wergild’. I said, ‘So the man, one of his testicles goes away?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it was the left one, so with regards to it is the (complete) wergild’. I said, ‘And why? Did you<sup>asws</sup> not say; ‘Whatever were two in the body, so with regards to each one is half the wergild?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Because the birth is from the left testicle’.
