سَأَلَهُ بَعْضُ آلِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَطَعَ لِسَانَ رَجُلٍ أَخْرَسَ [قَالَ] فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَ هُوَ أَخْرَسُ فَعَلَيْهِ ثُلُثُ الدِّيَةِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لِسَانُهُ ذَهَبَ بِهِ وَجَعٌ أَوْ آفَةٌ بَعْدَ مَا كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَإِنَّ عَلَى الَّذِي قَطَعَ لِسَانَهُ ثُلُثَ دِيَةِ لِسَانِهِ قَالَ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْقَضَاءُ فِي الْعَيْنَيْنِ وَ الْجَوَارِحِ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, both together from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘One of the progeny of Zurara asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who cut the tongue of a mute man. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it was such that his mother gave birth to him and he was mute, so upon him is a third of the wergild; and if it was such that his tongue went with away by illness or affliction after him having spoken beforehand, so upon the one who cut his tongue is a third of the wergild of his tongue; and similar to that is the judgement regarding the two eyes, and the limbs’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is how we<sup>asws</sup> found it to be in the Book of Ali<sup>asws</sup>’.
