Chapter on the Blood Money for Fingers, Teeth, and Bones
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي سِنِّ اَلصَّبِيِّ يَضْرِبُهَا اَلرَّجُلُ فَتَسْقُطُ ثُمَّ تَنْبُتُ قَالَ "لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ قِصَاصٌ وَ عَلَيْهِ اَلْأَرْشُ" وَ قَالَ فِي اَلرَّجُلِ تُكْسَرُ يَدُهُ ثُمَّ تَبْرَأُ يَدُهُ قَالَ "لاَ يُقْتَصُّ مِنْهُ وَ لَكِنْ يُعْطَى اَلْأَرْشَ" وَ سُئِلَ جَمِيلٌ كَمِ اَلْأَرْشُ فِي سِنِّ اَلصَّبِيِّ وَ كَسْرِ اَلْيَدِ قَالَ "شَيْءٌ يَسِيرٌ".
In the narration of Jameel from some of our companions from one of the Imams (peace be upon them), that it was reported regarding the tooth of a child that is struck by a man and falls out but later grows back Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no retaliation (qisas) upon him, but he must pay compensation (arsh)." Regarding a man whose hand is broken but later heals, Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no retaliation against him, but he must pay compensation (arsh)." When Jamil was asked about the amount of compensation for the child's tooth and the broken hand, Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is a small amount"
