Chapter on Retaliation (Qisas) and the Amount of Blood Money (Diyyah)
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ أَمَرَ رَجُلاً حُرّاً أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَجُلاً فَقَتَلَهُ قَالَ "يُقْتَلُ بِهِ اَلَّذِي وَلِيَ قَتْلَهُ وَ يُحْبَسُ اَلَّذِي أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِ فِي اَلسِّجْنِ أَبَداً حَتَّى يَمُوتَ".
Ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab from Zurarah from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام regarding a man who commanded a free man to kill another man, and he carried out the killing. Imam عليه السلام said: "The one who directly committed the murder shall be executed, and the one who ordered the killing shall be imprisoned forever until he dies."
