Hadith 1

رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ظَرِيفِ بْنِ نَاصِحٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلاً عَمْداً ثُمَّ فَرَّ فَلَمْ يُقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى مَاتَ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ أُخِذَ مِنْهُ وَ إِلاَّ أُخِذَ مِنَ اَلْأَقْرَبِ فَالْأَقْرَبِ".

Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal narrated from Zharif ibn Nasih, from Aban ibn Uthman, from Abu Basir, who narrated from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) regarding a man who intentionally killed another man and then fled, and he could not be captured until he died. Imam (a.s) said: "If he had wealth, the blood money is taken from it. If he had no wealth, it is taken from his closest relatives, and then from those next closest to him."

Hadith 2

وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلرَّجُلِ يُؤْخَذُ وَ عَلَيْهِ حُدُودٌ إِحْدَاهُنَّ اَلْقَتْلُ قَالَ "كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُقِيمُ عَلَيْهِ اَلْحُدُودَ قَبْلُ ثُمَّ يَقْتُلُهُ وَ لاَ تُخَالِفْ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ".

Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal narrated from Ibn Bukayr, from Ubayd ibn Zurara, who narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s) regarding a man who was apprehended with multiple legal punishments (hudud) upon him, one of which was execution. Imam (a.s) said: "Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) used to carry out the other hudud first and then execute him. Do not oppose Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s)."
