سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ قُتِلَ وَ لَهُ أَخٌ فِي دَارِ الْهِجْرَةِ وَ لَهُ أَخٌ فِي دَارِ الْبَدْوِ وَ لَمْ يُهَاجِرْ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ عَفَا الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ وَ أَرَادَ الْبَدَوِيُّ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ أَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ لِلْبَدَوِيِّ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ مُهَاجِرِيّاً حَتَّى يُهَاجِرَ قَالَ وَ إِذَا عَفَا الْمُهَاجِرِيُّ فَإِنَّ عَفْوَهُ جَائِزٌ قُلْتُ فَلِلْبَدَوِيِّ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ شَيْءٌ قَالَ أَمَّا الْمِيرَاثُ فَلَهُ حَظُّهُ مِنْ دِيَةِ أَخِيهِ إِنْ أُخِذَتْ .
Translation
Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Zurara who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about a man who was killed, and for him is a brother in the house of the migration, and for him is a brother in the house of the Bedouins who did not migrate. What is your<sup>asws</sup> view if the emigrant forgive and the Bedouin want that he be killed. Is that for him (to do)? It is not for the Bedouin that he kills an emigrant until he emigrates’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If the emigrant forgives, so his forgiveness is allowed’. I said, ‘So is there for the Bedouin anything from the inheritance?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘As for the inheritance, so for him is his share from the wergild of his brother, if he takes it’.
