سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا مُتَعَمِّداً ثُمَّ هَرَبَ الْقَاتِلُ فَلَمْ يُقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ أُخِذَتِ الدِّيَةُ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَ إِلَّا فَمِنَ الْأَقْرَبِ فَالْأَقْرَبِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ قَرَابَةٌ وَدَاهُ الْإِمَامُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَبْطُلُ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ. وَ- فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ لِلْوَالِي بَعْدُ حَبْسُهُ وَ أَدَبُهُ.

Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hazzan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Al Maysami, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah asws about a man who killed a man deliberately, then the killer fled and they were not able over him (to catch him). He asws said: ‘If there was wealth for him, the wergild would be taken from his wealth, or else from the relatives, if there are relatives. So if there do not happen to be relatives for him, the Imam asws would pay it, for the blood of a Muslim person would not be invalidated’. And in another report: ‘The it would be for the ruler afterwards to imprison him, and discipline him’.
