Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, both together, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Abu Ubeyda Al Haza’a who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far asws about a man who struck a man with a pole of a tent, upon his head, with one strike. So it pierced him to the extent that it arrived to the brain. So his intellect went’. So he asws said: ‘If it was that the struck one did not have the intellect for the Prayer, nor any intellect of what he says, nor what is said to him, so he would be awaited with for a year. So if he were to dies in what is between it and the year, his striker would be retaliated with; and if he does not die in what is between it and the year, and his intellect does not return to him, his striker would be fined the (complete) wergild in his wealth, due to the going away of his (victim’s) intellect. I said to him asws , ‘So what do you asws view to be upon him for fracturing something?’ He asws said: ‘No, because, rather he struck him with one strike. So the one strike committed two crimes. Therefore, it necessitates him the harshest of the two crimes, and it is the (complete) wergild. And had he struck him with two strikes, so the two strikes would have committed two crimes, it would necessitate him one crime, so whatever was it was, except if there happens to be the death in it, so his striker would be retaliated (due to one strike and the other would be dropped). So if he had struck him with three stroked, one after the other, so he would have committed three crimes, it would necessitate him with one crime what the three strikes had committed, as it if was such, for as long as there does not happen to be the death in it, so his striker would be retaliated with. So if he had struck him with ten strike, so it would be the one crime, even it ten strikes had committed, so he will be held for one crime – whatever it may be’.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Khalid Al Barqy, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Umar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen asws judged regarding a man who struck a man with a stick, so his hearing, and his vision, and his tongue, and his intellect, and his private parts ceased to function and his (ability) to copulate went, but he was alive - (a judgement of) six wergilds’.
