Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 71
رَوَى عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ سَعْدٍ اَلْإِسْكَافِ عَنِ اَلْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ: قَضَى أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي جَارِيَةٍ رَكِبَتْ جَارِيَةً فَنَخَسَتْهَا جَارِيَةٌ أُخْرَى فَقَمَصَتِ اَلْمَرْكُوبَةُ فَصَرَعَتِ اَلرَّاكِبَةَ فَمَاتَتْ فَقَضَى بِدِيَتِهَا نِصْفَيْنِ بَيْنَ اَلنَّاخِسَةِ وَ اَلْمَنْخُوسَةِ.
Amr ibn Uthman narrated from Abu Jamilah, from Sa'd Al-Iskaf, from Al-Asbagh ibn Nubatah, who said: Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام, ruled in a case where a slave girl was riding on another slave girl. A third slave girl prodded the one being ridden, causing her to buck, which led to the rider falling and dying. He ruled that the diyah (blood money) for the deceased should be divided equally between the one who prodded (nakhisah) and the one who was prodded (mankhusah).
