رَوَى اَلْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْجَوْهَرِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "فِي اَلْمُوضِحَةِ خَمْسَةٌ مِنَ اَلْإِبِلِ وَ فِي اَلسِّمْحَاقِ اَلَّتِي دُونَ اَلْمُوضِحَةِ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنَ اَلْإِبِلِ وَ فِي اَلْمُنَقِّلَةِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ مِنَ اَلْإِبِلِ وَ فِي اَلْجَائِفَةِ ثُلُثُ اَلدِّيَةِ ثَلاَثٌ وَ ثَلاَثُونَ مِنَ اَلْإِبِلِ وَ فِي اَلْمَأْمُومَةِ ثُلُثُ اَلدِّيَةِ".
Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad Al-Jawhari narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah, from Abu Basir, who narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "For an Al-muḍihah (a wound that exposes the bone), the compensation is five camels. For the as-simhaq (a wound just below the skin but not exposing the bone), it is four camels. For the Al-munaqqilah (a wound that causes bone fragments), compensation is fifteen camels. For the Al-jaʾifah (a wound that reaches the internal organs), it is one-third of the full blood money, which is thirty-three camels. Likewise, for the Al-maʾmumah (a wound reaching the membrane of the brain), it is also one-third of the full blood money."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اِبْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "فِي اَلْبَاضِعَةِ ثَلاَثَةٌ مِنَ اَلْإِبِلِ".
In the narration of Ibn Al-Mughirah from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, that he said: "For the baḍiah (a wound that cuts through the flesh after the skin), the compensation is three camels."

وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ ذَرِيحٍ اَلْمُحَارِبِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ شَجَّ رَجُلاً مُوضِحَةً وَ شَجَّهُ آخَرُ دَامِيَةً فِي مَقَامٍ وَاحِدٍ فَمَاتَ اَلرَّجُلُ قَالَ "عَلَيْهِمَا اَلدِّيَةُ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمَا نِصْفَيْنِ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Salih ibn Razin, from Dharih Al-Muharibi, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who was struck by one person with a muḍihah wound (a wound that exposes the bone) and by another person with a damiyah wound (a bleeding wound) in the same instance, and the man died. Imam عليه السلام said: "The blood money is upon both of them, divided equally between their wealth."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ حَيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْمُوضِحَةِ فِي اَلرَّأْسِ كَمَا هِيَ فِي اَلْوَجْهِ فَقَالَ "اَلْمُوضِحَةُ وَ اَلشِّجَاجُ فِي اَلْوَجْهِ وَ اَلرَّأْسِ سَوَاءٌ فِي اَلدِّيَةِ لِأَنَّ اَلْوَجْهَ مِنَ اَلرَّأْسِ وَ لَيْسَ اَلْجِرَاحَاتُ فِي اَلْجَسَدِ كَمَا هِيَ فِي اَلرَّأْسِ".
Ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Hayy, who narrated from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about the muḍihah (a wound that exposes the bone) on the head - whether it is the same as on the face. Imam عليه السلام said: "The muḍihah and other head wounds are the same in blood money (diyyah) whether they occur on the face or the head because the face is part of the head. However, injuries on the body are not treated the same as those on the head."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 335
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبَانٍ قَالَ: "اَلْجَائِفَةُ مَا وَقَعَتْ فِي اَلْجَوْفِ لَيْسَ لِصَاحِبِهِ قِصَاصٌ إِلاَّ اَلْحُكُومَةُ وَ اَلْمُنَقِّلَةُ تُنَقَّلُ مِنْهَا اَلْعِظَامُ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قِصَاصٌ إِلاَّ اَلْحُكُومَةُ وَ فِي اَلْمَأْمُومَةِ ثُلُثُ اَلدِّيَةِ لَيْسَ فِيهَا قِصَاصٌ إِلاَّ اَلْحُكُومَةُ".
In the narration of Aban, he said: "Al-jaifah (a wound that penetrates into the internal cavity) has no qisas (retaliation); only hukumah (compensatory assessment) is applied. Al-munqilah (a wound that causes bone fragments to dislodge) also has no qisas; only hukumah is applied. For Al-ma'mumah (a wound that reaches the covering membrane of the brain), one-third of the diyah (blood money) is due, and there is no qisas for it, except for hukumah."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ: "أَنَّ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَضَى فِي اَلْهَاشِمَةِ بِعَشْرٍ مِنَ اَلْإِبِلِ".
In the narration of Al-Sakuni: "Indeed, the Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام ruled that for the hashimah (a wound that fractures the bone), the compensation is ten camels."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي عَبْدٍ شَجَّ رَجُلاً مُوضِحَةً ثُمَّ شَجَّ آخَرَ فَقَالَ "هُوَ بَيْنَهُمَا".
Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said regarding a slave who struck one man with a muḍihah wound (a wound that exposes the bone) and then struck another man similarly: "The compensation is to be divided between them."
