8- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَدَّعِي عَلَى الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ دَيْناً عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ ذَهَبَ بِحَقِّي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) ذَهَبَ بِحَقِّكَ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْوَلِيدِ قُمْ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَاقْضِهِ مِنْ حَقِّهِ فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُبَرِّدَ عَلَيْهِ جِلْدَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ بَارِداً.
8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Walid ibn Sabih who has said the following: “Once a man came to abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, saying that al-Mu‘alla’ ibn Khunays owed him a certain amount and said, ‘He has destroyed my rights.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, said, ‘Your rights are destroyed by the one who murdered him (al-Mu‘alla’).’ He (the Imam) then told al- Walid to pay back his rights, ‘I like to cool down his skin which was cool already.’”
