رَجُلٍ وُجِئَ فِي أُذُنِهِ فَادَّعَى أَنَّ إِحْدَى أُذُنَيْهِ نَقَصَ مِنْ سَمْعِهَا شَيْءٌ قَالَ قَالَ تُسَدُّ الَّتِي ضُرِبَتْ سَدّاً شَدِيداً وَ تُفْتَحُ الصَّحِيحَةُ فَيُضْرَبُ لَهَا بِالْجَرَسِ حِيَالَ وَجْهِهِ وَ يُقَالُ لَهُ اسْمَعْ فَإِذَا خَفِيَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّوْتُ عُلِّمَ مَكَانُهُ ثُمَّ يُضْرَبُ بِهِ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ يُقَالُ لَهُ اسْمَعْ فَإِذَا خَفِيَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّوْتُ عُلِّمَ مَكَانُهُ ثُمَّ يُقَاسُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ كَانَا سَوَاءً عُلِمَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ صَدَقَ ثُمَّ يُؤْخَذُ بِهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يُضْرَبُ حَتَّى يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ الصَّوْتُ ثُمَّ يُعَلَّمُ مَكَانُهُ ثُمَّ يُؤْخَذُ بِهِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَيُضْرَبُ حَتَّى يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ الصَّوْتُ ثُمَّ يُعَلَّمُ مَكَانُهُ ثُمَّ يُقَاسُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ كَانَ سَوَاءً عُلِمَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ صَدَقَ قَالَ ثُمَّ تُفْتَحُ أُذُنُهُ الْمُعْتَلَّةُ وَ تُسَدُّ الْأُخْرَى سَدّاً جَيِّداً ثُمَّ يُضْرَبُ بِالْجَرَسِ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِ ثُمَّ يُعَلَّمُ حَيْثُ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ الصَّوْتُ يُصْنَعُ بِهِ كَمَا صُنِعَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ بِأُذُنِهِ الصَّحِيحَةِ ثُمَّ يُقَاسُ فَضْلُ مَا بَيْنَ الصَّحِيحَةِ وَ الْمُعْتَلَّةِ بِحِسَابِ ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man was hit in his ear, so he claimed that one of his ears is deficient from hearing anything. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The struck ear would be covered up with an intense covering, and the correct ear would be kept open. So the bell would be sounded towards his face and it would be said to him, ‘Listen’. So when the sound is hidden to him, its place would be noted. Then it (the bell) would be sounded from behind him, and it would be said to him, ‘Listen’. So when the sound is hidden from him its place would be noted. Then it would be measured what is between the two. So if it was the same, it would be known that he is speaking the truth. Then he would be seized by it from his right. Then it (the bell) would be sounded until the sound is hidden from him. Then its place would be noted. Then he would be seized by it from his left. So it (the bell) would be sounded until the sound is hidden from him. Then its place would be noted. There it would be measured what is between the two. So if it was the same, it would be known that he is speaking the truth. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Then his damaged ear would be opened up, and the other one would be closed with a new covering. Then the bell would be struck from in front of him. Then the sounds would be hidden from him, and he would be dealt with just as he had been dealt with the first time around, with his healthy ear. Then to find the difference of the hearing (abilities) of both ears to calculate a fair compensation on the basis of the differences that may have happened between the two ears.
