Chapter on What Requires Full Blood Money and Half Blood Money in Cases Other Than the Taking of a Life
وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "أُتِيَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ ضَرَبَ رَجُلاً حَتَّى اِنْتَقَصَ مِنْ بَصَرِهِ فَدَعَا بِرِجَالٍ مِنْ أَسْنَانِهِ ثُمَّ أَرَاهُمْ شَيْئاً فَنَظَرَ مَا اِنْتَقَصَ مِنْ بَصَرِهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ دِيَةَ مَا اِنْتَقَصَ مِنْ بَصَرِهِ".
Abdullah ibn Maymoon narrated from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام who said: "A man was brought to Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام who had struck another man, causing a reduction in his eyesight. Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام called men of similar age as the injured man and showed them something to observe how much his vision had diminished. Imam عليه السلام then awarded the injured man blood money (diyyah) equivalent to the extent of his lost eyesight."
