Ḥadīth 5331

5331 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ تَمَّامٍ قَالَ: أَهْرَاقَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى رَأْسِ رَجُلٍ قِدْراً فِيهَا مَرَقٌ فَذَهَبَ شَعْرُهُ فَاخْتَصَمُوا فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَأَجَّلَهُ سَنَةً فَلَمْ يَنْبُتْ شَعْرُهُ فَقَضَى عَلَيْهِ بِالدِّيَةِ.

Hadith.5331 - It is narrated from Salamah ibn Tammam that a man poured a pot of broth over another man's head, causing his hair to fall out. They disputed this matter before Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), who delayed the judgment for a year. When the man's hair did not grow back, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) ruled that the perpetrator must pay the full blood money (diyyah).
