قَالَ أُصِيبَتْ عَيْنُ رَجُلٍ وَ هِيَ قَائِمَةٌ فَأَمَرَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فَرُبِطَتْ عَيْنُهُ الصَّحِيحَةُ وَ أَقَامَ رَجُلًا بِحِذَاهُ بِيَدِهِ بَيْضَةٌ يَقُولُ هَلْ تَرَاهَا قَالَ فَجَعَلَ إِذَا قَالَ نَعَمْ تَأَخَّرَ قَلِيلًا حَتَّى إِذَا خَفِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ عُلِّمَ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانُ قَالَ وَ عُصِّبَتْ عَيْنُهُ الْمُصَابَةُ وَ جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَتَبَاعَدُ وَ هُوَ يَنْظُرُ بِعَيْنِهِ الصَّحِيحَةِ حَتَّى إِذَا خَفِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قِيسَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَأُعْطِيَ الْأَرْشَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from one of his companions, from Aban Bin Usman, from Al Hassan Bin Kaseer, from his father who said, ‘An eye of a man was hit, and it was firm (in its place). So Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> ordered for his healthy eye to be tied up (blindfolded), and got a man to stand in front of him with an egg in his hand. He<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Can you see it?’ So when he said, ‘Yes, he<sup>asws</sup> made him to stand away a little more, (repeating the process) until it was hidden from him (could not see it anymore), he<sup>asws</sup> noted that place. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And he<sup>asws</sup> tied up (blindfolded) the struck eye and made the man to be remote, and he was looking with his healthy eye, until it was hidden to him (could not see it anymore). Then he<sup>asws</sup> compared what was between the two, so he<sup>asws</sup> gave him the compensation upon that’.
