Al-Kafi 14256

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from IBn Fazzal, from Suleyman Al Dahhan, from Rafa’at, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘They came to Usman with a man from Qays along with a master of his who had slapped his eye, so the water kept dripping in it, and it was firm but he could not visualise anything with it. So he said to him, ‘I can give you the wergild’. But, he refused. He^asws said, ‘So he sent someone with both of them to Ali^asws and said, ‘Judge between these two’. So he^asws gave him the wergild, but he refused. So he^asws did not cease to give him until he^asws gave him two wergilds. So he said, ‘I do not want anything except for the retaliation’. He^asws said: ‘So Ali^asws called for a mirror, so he^asws heated it. Then he^asws called for the cotton, so he^asws put fuel in it, then made it to be upon the lids of his eyes, and around them. Then he^asws made him face with his eyes towards the sun, and came with the mirror. So he^asws said: ‘Look (into this)!’ So he looked, and the grease melted, and his eye remained firm, and his vision was gone’.
