5208 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلاً عَمْداً فَرُفِعَ إِلَى اَلْوَالِي فَدَفَعَهُ اَلْوَالِي إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اَلْمَقْتُولِ لِيَقْتُلُوهُ فَوَثَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَوْمٌ فَخَلَّصُوا اَلْقَاتِلَ مِنْ أَيْدِي اَلْأَوْلِيَاءِ فَقَالَ "أَرَى أَنْ يُحْبَسَ اَلَّذِينَ خَلَّصُوا اَلْقَاتِلَ مِنْ أَيْدِي اَلْأَوْلِيَاءِ أَبَداً حَتَّى يَأْتُوا بِالْقَاتِلِ" قِيلَ لَهُ فَإِنْ مَاتَ اَلْقَاتِلُ وَ هُمْ فِي اَلسِّجْنِ فَقَالَ "إِنْ مَاتَ فَعَلَيْهِمُ اَلدِّيَةُ يُؤَدُّونَهَا إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اَلْمَقْتُولِ".
Hadith.5208 - Ibn Mahbub narrated from Abu Ayyub from Hariz from Abu Abdullah 
, who said: I asked Imam about a man who intentionally killed another man.
The matter was presented to the governor, and the governor handed the killer over to the heirs of the murdered person to execute him.
However, a group of people attacked and rescued the killer from the heirs.
Imam said: "I believe that those who rescued the killer from the hands of the heirs should be imprisoned indefinitely until they bring back the killer."
It was asked: "What if the killer dies while they are in prison?"
Imam replied: "If he dies, then they must pay the blood money (diyyah) to the heirs of the murdered person."
