سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ قُتِلَ وَ لَهُ أُمٌّ وَ أَبٌ وَ ابْنٌ فَقَالَ الِابْنُ أَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَقْتُلَ قَاتِلَ أَبِي وَ قَالَ الْأَبُ أَنَا أَعْفُو وَ قَالَتِ الْأُمُّ أَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ آخُذَ الدِّيَةَ قَالَ فَقَالَ فَلْيُعْطِ الِابْنُ أُمَّ الْمَقْتُولِ السُّدُسَ مِنَ الدِّيَةِ وَ يُعْطِي وَرَثَةَ الْقَاتِلِ السُّدُسَ مِنَ الدِّيَةِ حَقَّ الْأَبِ الَّذِي عَفَا وَ لْيَقْتُلْهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, both together, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Wallad Al Hannat who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who was killed and for him was a mother and a father and a son. So the son said, ‘I want that the killer of my father be killed’. And the father said, ‘I forgive’. And the mother said, ‘I want that I should take the wergild’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So let the son pay the mother of the killed one, one-sixth of the wergild, and give to the inheritors of the killer, one-sixth from the wergild, a right of the father who forgave, and (then) let him kill him’.
