سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع- عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَطَعَ يَدَيْنِ لِرَجُلَيْنِ الْيَمِينَيْنِ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا حَبِيبُ تُقْطَعُ يَمِينُهُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي قَطَعَ يَمِينَهُ أَوَّلًا وَ تُقْطَعُ يَسَارُهُ لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي قَطَعَ يَمِينَهُ آخِراً لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا قَطَعَ يَدَ الرَّجُلِ الْأَخِيرِ وَ يَمِينُهُ قِصَاصٌ لِلرَّجُلِ الْأَوَّلِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً ع إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَقْطَعُ الْيَدَ الْيُمْنَى وَ الرِّجْلَ الْيُسْرَى قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِيمَا يَجِبُ مِنْ حُقُوقِ اللَّهِ فَأَمَّا يَا حَبِيبُ حُقُوقُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنَّهُ يُؤْخَذُ لَهُمْ حُقُوقُهُمْ فِي الْقِصَاصِ الْيَدُ بِالْيَدِ إِذَا كَانَتْ لِلْقَاطِعِ يَدٌ وَ الرِّجْلُ بِالْيَدِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلْقَاطِعِ يَدٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَ وَ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ الدِّيَةُ وَ يُتْرَكُ لَهُ رِجْلُهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ الدِّيَةُ إِذَا قَطَعَ يَدَ رَجُلٍ وَ لَيْسَ لِلْقَاطِعِ يَدَانِ وَ لَا رِجْلَانِ فَثَمَّ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ الدِّيَةُ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ جَارِحَةٌ يُقَاصُّ مِنْهَا.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Habeeb Al Sajistany who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far asws about a man who cut two right hands of two men. O Habeeb! His right hand would be cut for the first man whose right hand he had cut, and his left would be cut for the last man whose right hand he had cut, because he cut the hand of the last one, and his own right hand had already been cut in retaliation for the first man’. He (the narrator) said, ‘But rather, Ali asws used to cut the right hand and the left leg?’ So he asws said: ‘But rather, he asws used to do that with regards to what was Obligated from the Rights of Allah azwj . O Habeeb! So, as for the rights of the Muslims, he asws used to take their rights for them with regards to the retaliation, the hand for the hand, if it was such that the cutter had a hand and a leg, and the leg for the hand when there did not happen to be a hand for the cutter’. So I said to him, ‘Or does it not Obligate the wergild upon him, and his leg is left for him?’ So he asws said: ‘But rather, it Obligated the wergild upon him when a hand of a man is cut, and there are no two hands or two legs for the cutter, so then the wergild would be Obligated upon him, because there is no limb for him to be retaliated from’.
