Chapter on Retaliation (Qisas) and the Amount of Blood Money (Diyyah)
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ أُمَّهُ قَالَ "لاَ يَرِثُهَا وَ يُقْتَلُ بِهَا صَاغِراً وَ لاَ أَظُنُّ قَتْلَهُ بِهَا كَفَّارَةً لِذَنْبِهِ".
Ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab from Abu Ubaydah, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام about a man who killed his mother. Imam عليه السلام said: "He does not inherit from her, and he is to be executed for her murder in a state of humiliation. Yet, I do not believe that his execution will serve as an expiation for his sin."
