5328 - رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلَهُ بَعْضُ آلِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَطَعَ لِسَانَ رَجُلٍ أَخْرَسَ فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَ هُوَ أَخْرَسُ فَعَلَيْهِ اَلدِّيَةُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لِسَانُهُ ذَهَبَ بِوَجَعٍ أَوْ آفَةٍ بَعْدَ مَا كَانَ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَإِنَّ عَلَى اَلَّذِي قَطَعَ ثُلُثَ دِيَةِ لِسَانِهِ".

Hadith.5328 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Hisham ibn Salim from Abu Baṣir from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that someone from the family of Zurarah asked Imam (as) about a man who cut off the tongue of a mute person. Imam (as) said: "If his mother gave birth to him mute, then the full blood money (diyyah) is due. But if his tongue was lost due to an illness or an affliction after he had been able to speak, then the one who cut it off must pay one-third of the diyyah of the tongue."
