Chapter on Prohibition of Shedding Blood and Taking Wealth Unlawfully, the Prohibition of Engaging in the Impermissible, and Repentance From Killing Whether Intentional or Accidental

Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Muhassin ibn Ahmad from Isa Al-Dhaif, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "A man has killed another man; what is his repentance?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "He should surrender himself." I said: "He fears they will kill him." Imam عليه السلام said: "Then he should give them the blood money (diyyah)." I said: "He fears they will find out." Imam عليه السلام said: "Then he should marry a woman from among them." I said: "He fears she might reveal this to them." Imam عليه السلام said: "Then he should take the blood money, divide it into small bundles, observe the times of prayer, and secretly place it in their home."
