Chapter on What Requires Full Blood Money and Half Blood Money in Cases Other Than the Taking of a Life
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ فَقَأَ عَيْنَ رَجُلٍ وَ قَطَعَ أَنْفَهُ وَ أُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَتَلَهُ فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ فَرَّقَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ اُقْتُصَّ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ قُتِلَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ ضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً فَأَصَابَهُ ذَلِكَ ضُرِبَتْ عُنُقُهُ وَ لَمْ يُقْتَصَّ مِنْهُ".
Muhammad ibn Qays narrated from one of the two Imams (peace be upon them) about a man who gouged out another man's eye, cut off his nose and ears, and then killed him. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he inflicted these injuries on him separately, then retaliation (qisas) will be taken for each injury, and then he will be killed. But if he struck him with a single blow that resulted in all those injuries, his neck will be struck (he will be executed), and retaliation will not be taken for the individual injuries."
