Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

رَوَى جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ صَبَّ مَاءً حَارّاً عَلَى رَأْسِ رَجُلٍ فَامْتَعَطَ شَعْرُهُ فَلاَ يَنْبُتُ أَبَداً قَالَ "عَلَيْهِ اَلدِّيَةُ".

It is narrated from Ja'far ibn Bashir, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Sulayman ibn Khalid, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about a man who poured hot water on another man's head, causing his hair to fall out and never grow back. Imam (a.s) said: "He must pay the full blood money (diyyah)."

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.

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 (a.s), who delayed the judgment for a year. When the man's hair did not grow back, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) ruled that the perpetrator must pay the full blood money (diyyah).
