Chapter on Those Who Have No Blood Money in Cases of Injury or Killing

وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: فِي رَجُلٍ أَرَادَ اِمْرَأَةً عَلَى نَفْسِهَا حَرَاماً فَرَمَتْهُ بِحَجَرٍ فَأَصَابَتْ مِنْهُ مَقْتَلاً قَالَ "لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا شَيْءٌ فِيمَا بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنْ قُدِّمَتْ إِلَى إِمَامٍ عَدْلٍ أَهْدَرَ دَمَهُ".
Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said: I heard Abu Abdullah عليه السلام say regarding a man who tried to force himself unlawfully upon a woman, and she struck him with a stone, causing his death. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is nothing upon her in what is between her and Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Majestic. And if she is brought before a just Imam, he will dismiss his (attackers') blood (declare it as wasted)."
