إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَكَمَ فِي دِمَائِكُمْ بِغَيْرِ مَا حَكَمَ بِهِ فِي أَمْوَالِكُمْ حَكَمَ فِي أَمْوَالِكُمْ أَنَّ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعِي وَ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ وَ حَكَمَ فِي دِمَائِكُمْ أَنَّ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى مَنِ ادُّعِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى مَنِ ادَّعَى لِكَيْلَا يَبْطُلَ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Judged with regards to your blood (lives) with other than what He<sup>azwj</sup> has Judged with regards to your wealth. A Judgement with regards to your wealth is that the burden of proof is upon the claimant, and the swearing is upon the defendant; and a Judgement with regards to your blood (life) is that the burden of proof is upon the defendant, but the swearing is upon the one who claims, so that the blood of a Muslim is not lost’.
