Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Husayn Bin Ahmad Al Minqary, from Isa Al Zaif who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah asws , ‘A man kills a man deliberately, what is his repentance?’ He asws said: ‘Make himself available (to the guardians of the killed one)’. I said, ‘He fears that they would kill him’. He asws said: ‘So let him give them the wergild’. I said, ‘He fears that they would come to know him due to that’. He asws said: ‘So let him consider the wergild, so let him make it as small packages, then await the timings of the Prayers, so let him cast these in their houses’.

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Abu Al Khazraj, from Fuzayl Bin Usman Al Awr, from Al Zahry who said, ‘I was an office bearer for the Clan of Umayya, so I killed a man. So I asked Ali asws Bin Al-Husayn asws after that, how I should deal with it, so he asws said: ‘Present the wergild to his people’. So I presented it, but they refused, and I strived, but they (still) refused. So I informed Ali asws Bin Al-Husayn asws of that, so he asws said: ‘Go with a number of your people, so let them bear witness upon them’. So I did it, but they refused. So they bore witness upon them. So I returned to Ali asws Bin Al-Husayn asws and informed him asws . He asws said: ‘Take the wergild and make separate packages of these, then go to the door (of the guardians of the killed one) during the time of Al-Zuhr , or Al-Fajr , so throw these in the doorways. So the one who takes anything, so it would be counted for you with regards to the wergild. So when it is the time of Al-Zuhr and Al-Fajr , during these timings the people of the house come out’. Al-Zahry said, ‘I did that, and had it not been for Ali asws Bin Al-Husayn asws , I would have been destroyed’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And one of our companions has narrated to me that Al-Zahry had struck a man with ulcerated wounds, so he had died from his strike’.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, and Ibn Bukeyr and someone else who said, ‘Ali asws Bin Al-Husayn asws was in the circumambulation (of the Kaaba), so he asws looked at a group around the Masjid. So he asws said: ‘What is this group?’ So they said, ‘This is Muhammad Bin Shihab Al-Zahry. His intellect is muddled up, so he does not speak. So his family have brought him out, perhaps when he sees the people he would speak’. So when Ali asws Bin Al-Husayn asws fulfilled his asws circumambulation, he asws went out until he asws approached him. So when Muhammad Bin Shihab saw him asws , he recognised him asws . So Ali asws Bin Al-Husayn asws said to him: ‘What is the matter with you?’ So he said, ‘I was given the governorship, so I shed blood. I killed a man, so there entered into me what you asws see’. So Ali asws Bin Al-Husayn asws said to me: ‘I asws have more intense fear of your despair from the Mercy of Allah azwj from what you have come to’. Then he asws said: ‘Give them the wergild’. He said, ‘I have done it, but they refused (to accept it)’. So he asws said: ‘Make it as small packages, then wait for the timings of the Prayers, so throw these in their houses’.
