So that was raised to Yahya Bin Saeed, so he judged for the retaliation (revenge). So that was grievous upon Ibn Abu Layli, and Ibn Shabrama (other judges), and they spoke a lot with regards to it, and they said, ‘But rather, this is an error’. So Isa Bin Ali paid him from his own wealth’. He asws said: ‘From our asws (judgement), let there be retaliation for the (fatal) wounding. But rather, the error is when he intended with something, so he hit something else’.
