سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَصَابِعِ الْيَدَيْنِ وَ أَصَابِعِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ أَ رَأَيْتَ مَا زَادَ فِيهَا عَلَى عَشْرِ أَصَابِعَ أَوْ نَقَصَ مِنْ عَشَرَةٍ فِيهَا دِيَةٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا حَكَمُ الْخِلْقَةُ الَّتِي قُسِمَتْ عَلَيْهَا الدِّيَةُ عَشَرَةُ أَصَابِعَ فِي الْيَدَيْنِ فَمَا زَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ فَلَا دِيَةَ لَهُ وَ عَشَرَةُ أَصَابِعَ فِي الرِّجْلَيْنِ فَمَا زَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ فَلَا دِيَةَ لَهُ وَ فِي كُلِّ إِصْبَعٍ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ الْيَدَيْنِ أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ وَ فِي كُلِّ إِصْبَعٍ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ وَ كُلُّ مَا كَانَ مِنْ شَلَلٍ فَهُوَ عَلَى الثُّلُثِ مِنْ دِيَةِ الصِّحَاحِ .
Translation
Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Ziyad Bin Sowqat, from Al Hakam Bin Uteyba who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about fingers of the two hands, and toes of the two feet, ‘What is your<sup>asws</sup> view with regards to these, upon ten fingers, or deficient from ten, regarding wergild?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O Hakam! The creation upon which the wergild is to be distributed is ten fingers in the two hands. So whatever is additional or deficient, so there is no wergild for it; and ten toes in the two feet, so whatever was additional or deficient, so there is no wergild for it; and regarding every finger from the fingers of the two hands, is a thousand Dirhams; and regarding every toe from the toes of the two feet, is a thousand Dirhams; and regarding everything what was from the paralysed, so it is upon the third from the wergild of the healthy’.
