سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا نَاصِباً مَعْرُوفاً بِالنَّصْبِ عَلَى دِينِهِ غَضَباً لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَ يُقْتَلُ بِهِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ بِهِ وَ لَوْ رُفِعَ إِلَى إِمَامٍ عَادِلٍ ظَاهِرٍ لَمْ يَقْتُلْهُ بِهِ قُلْتُ فَيَبْطُلُ دَمُهُ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ وَرَثَةٌ فَعَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُمُ الدِّيَةَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَالِ لِأَنَّ قَاتِلَهُ إِنَّمَا قَتَلَهُ غَضَباً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لِلْإِمَامِ وَ لِدِينِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Bureyd Al Ajaly who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a Believer who kills a well-known Hostile one (Nasibi), upon his Religion, being angry for the Sake of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High, would he be killed due to it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘As for them (rulers), so they would kill him for it, but if it were raised to a Just Imam<sup>asws</sup> present, he would not be killed for it’. I said, ‘So his blood would be invalidated’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, but if there were inheritors for him, so it would be upon the Imam<sup>asws</sup> that he<sup>asws</sup> gives them the wergild from the public treasury of the Muslims, because his killer, but rather his killing was an (act of) anger for the Sake of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, and for the Imam<sup>asws</sup>, and for the Religion of the Muslims’.
