Muhammad Bin Yahya from Ahmad Bin Muhammad and Ali Bin Ibrahim from his father, both together from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Hareyz, (The narrator) says: ‘I asked Abu Abdullah asws about a man who killed a man deliberately. So it was raised to the governor. So the governor handed him over to the guardians of the killed one to let them kill him. So a group of people leapt upon them, so they had the killer released from the hands of the guardians. So he asws said: ‘I asws see that the one who released the killer from the hands of the guardians should be imprisoned until they can come up with the killer’. It was said, ‘So if the killer died and they are (still) in prison?’ He asws said: ‘So if he dies, then upon them is the wergild, which they all have to pay it together to the guardians of the killed one’.
