Hadith record

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, and from his father, from Ibn Fazzal both together, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza asws . Yunus said, ‘I presented the book to him asws , so he asws said: ‘It is correct’. And Ibn Fazal said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen asws judged: ‘When the man is hit in one of his eyes, so it would be measured by an egg. The hit eye would be covered, and he would look what his correct eye can end up visualising. Then his correct eye would be covered, and he would look at what his hit eye can end up (visualising). So he would be given a wergild based upon that accounting. And the sworn endorsement along with that are from six parts, upon a measurement of what he has been hit from his eye. So if it was such that a sixth of his vision had gone so he alone would have to swear an oath and he would be given; and if it was that a third of his vision had gone, he and another man along with him would have to swear an oath; and if it was that half of his vision had gone, he and two men along with him would swear an oath; and if it was that two-thirds of his vision had gone, he and three persons would swear an oath; and if it was that four-fifths of his vision had gone, he and four persons would have to swear an oath along with him; and if it was that all of it is gone, he and five persons along with him would have to swear an oath. And similar to that are the sworn endorsements, all of these regarding the injuries. And if there does not happen to be for the one whose eyesight was hit, anyone who would swear an oath along with him, the swearing would be additional upon him. If it was such that a sixth of his vision had gone, he would swear once; and if it was such that a third of his vision had gone, he would have to swear twice; and if it was more, it would be upon this counting. But rather, the sworn endorsements (compurgation) are upon to what extent his vision reaches. And if it was the hearing, so it would be approximate from that, apart from that something would be struck (to make a sound) to him, until the extent of his hearing is known. Then that would be compared, and the sworn endorsement would be approximated based upon what his hearing had been measured. So if it was such that all of his hearing (was lost), and mischief was feared from him, so he would be left to sleep until when he had slept a little, he would be shrieked at. So if he were to hear, the judge would compare between them by his opinion. And if it was such that the deficiency was regarding the upper arms and the thighs, so that would be known by comparing the healthy leg by a cord. Then his hit leg would be compared. Thus it would be known, the measurement of the deficiency of his leg, or his hand. So if the injury was to the leg or the arm, so it is from (the measuring device) for the thigh and the upper arm that he would be compared, and the judge would look at the measurement of his thigh’. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Zareyf, from his father Zareyf Bin Nasih, from a man caled Abdullah Bin Ayoub, (It has been narrated) from Abu Amro Al Mutatabbab who said, ‘I presented the book to Abu Abdullah asws ’. And Ali Bin Fazzal, from Al Hassan Bin Al Jahm who said, ‘I presented it to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza asws , so he asws said to me: ‘Report it, for it is correct’. Then he mentioned similar to it’.
