إِنْ ضَرَبَ رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا بِعَصًا أَوْ بِحَجَرٍ فَمَاتَ مِنْ ضَرْبَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ فَهُوَ شِبْهُ الْعَمْدِ فَالدِّيَةُ عَلَى الْقَاتِلِ وَ إِنْ عَلَاهُ وَ أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ بِالْعَصَا أَوْ بِالْحِجَارَةِ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ فَهُوَ عَمْدٌ يُقْتَلُ بِهِ وَ إِنْ ضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً فَتَكَلَّمَ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ يَوْماً أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ ثُمَّ مَاتَ فَهُوَ شِبْهُ الْعَمْدِ.

Yunus, from one of his companions, Abu Abdullah asws has said: ‘If a man strikes a man with a stick, or with a rock, so he dies from his one strike before he speaks, so it is somewhat deliberate, therefore the wergild is upon the killer; and if he pounces upon him and hits him incessantly (nonstop) with the stick, or with the rock until he kills him, so he was deliberately killed with; and if he were to strike him with one strike, so he speaks, then remains (alive) for a day or more from (that) day, then dies, so it is somewhat deliberate’.
