Chapter on the Blood Money for Fingers, Teeth, and Bones

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "أَصَابِعُ اَلْيَدَيْنِ وَ اَلرِّجْلَيْنِ فِي اَلدِّيَةِ سَوَاءٌ" وَ قَالَ "فِي اَلسِّنِّ إِذَا ضُرِبَتِ اُنْتُظِرَ بِهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ وَقَعَتْ أُغْرِمَ اَلضَّارِبُ خَمْسَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَقَعْ وَ اِسْوَدَّتْ أُغْرِمَ ثُلُثَيْ دِيَتِهَا".
Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "The fingers of the hands and feet are equal in compensation (diyyah)." Imam عليه السلام also said: "If a tooth is struck, it should be observed for a year. If it falls out, the striker must pay five hundred dirhams. However, if it does not fall out but turns black, the striker must pay two-thirds of its compensation."
