عَرَضْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا أَفْتَى بِهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فِي الدِّيَاتِ فَمِمَّا أَفْتَى بِهِ أَفْتَى فِي الْجَسَدِ وَ جَعَلَهُ سِتَّةَ فَرَائِضَ النَّفْسُ وَ الْبَصَرُ وَ السَّمْعُ وَ الْكَلَامُ وَ نَقْصُ الصَّوْتِ مِنَ الْغَنَنِ وَ الْبَحَحِ وَ الشَّلَلُ مِنَ الْيَدَيْنِ وَ الرِّجْلَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مَعَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ قَسَامَةً عَلَى نَحْوِ مَا بَلَغَتِ الدِّيَةُ وَ الْقَسَامَةَ جَعَلَ فِي النَّفْسِ عَلَى الْعَمْدِ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا وَ جَعَلَ فِي النَّفْسِ عَلَى الْخَطَإِ خَمْسَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا وَ عَلَى مَا بَلَغَتْ دِيَتُهُ مِنَ الْجُرُوحِ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ سِتَّةَ نَفَرٍ فَمَا كَانَ دُونَ ذَلِكَ فَبِحِسَابِهِ مِنْ سِتَّةِ نَفَرٍ وَ الْقَسَامَةُ فِي النَّفْسِ وَ السَّمْعِ وَ الْبَصَرِ وَ الْعَقْلِ وَ الصَّوْتِ مِنَ الْغَنَنِ وَ الْبَحَحِ وَ نَقْصِ الْيَدَيْنِ وَ الرِّجْلَيْنِ فَهُوَ مِنْ سِتَّةِ أَجْزَاءِ الرَّجُلِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Fazzal, and Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, (It has been narrated) both together from Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup>, and and number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Zareyf, from his father Zareyf Bin Naih, from Abdullah Bin Ayoun, from Abu Amro Al Mutatayyab who said, ‘I presented to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> the verdict of Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup> regarding the wergild. So from what he<sup>asws</sup> had issued verdict with regarding the body, and made it six obligations of the self, and the sight, and the hearing, and the speech, and deficiency of the voice from the croaking, and the paralysis of the two hands, and the two legs. And he<sup>asws</sup> made to be regarding the self upon the erroneous (killing), being twenty-five men (swearing), and upon what his wergild reached from the injuries sustained, a thousand Dinars, being six persons (swearing). So whatever was less than that, it would be by that counting, from six persons (swearing). And the compurgation (sworn endorsements) regarding the self, and the hearing and the sight, and the intellect, and the voice, from the croacking, and the deficiency of the two hands and the two legs, so it is from six parts of the man’.
