So how did this come to you?" He (Abu Musa) replied: "Mu'awiyah wrote to me that the son of Abu Al-Husayn found a man with his wife and killed him, and this matter has confused the judges. What is your opinion on this?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "I am Abu Al-Hasan (as). If he brings four witnesses who testify to what he claimed, then so be it. Otherwise, he should be handed over in full (for punishment)."

Hadith.5400 - In the narration of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya through his chain of transmission, it is reported that a man was brought before Al-Ma'mun for having pushed another man into a well, resulting in his death. Al-Ma'mun ordered that the man be executed. The man said: "I was in my house when I heard cries for help. I rushed out quickly with my sword and passed by this man who was standing at the edge of a well. I pushed him, and he fell into the well." Al-Ma'mun consulted the jurists about this matter. Some of them said he should be subjected to retribution, while others suggested different punishments. Al-Ma'mun then asked Abu Al-Hasan (as) about this matter and wrote to him. Abu Al-Hasan (as) replied: "His blood money is upon those who cried out for help." The jurists found this ruling surprising and said to Al-Ma'mun: "Ask him on what basis he gave this ruling." When Al-Ma'mun asked, Abu Al-Hasan (as) said: "A woman once complained to Prophet Sulayman ibn Dawud (as) about the wind. She said: 'I was on the roof of my house when a gust of wind pushed me, and I fell into a courtyard, breaking my arm.' Sulayman (as) summoned the wind and asked: 'What caused you to do this to this woman?' The wind replied: 'O' Prophet of Allah (swt), the ship of a certain people was in the sea and was on the verge of sinking. I passed by this woman while hurrying to help them, and she fell, breaking her arm.' Sulayman (as) ruled that the compensation for her arm should be paid by the people of the ship."

Hadith.5401 - In the narration of Aban ibn Uthman, it is reported that Umar ibn Al-Khattab was presented with a man who had killed another man's brother. Umar handed him over to the victim's brother and ordered him to kill him. The man struck him until he thought he had killed him. He was carried to his home, and they found he still had some life in him. They treated him until he recovered. When he recovered, the brother of the first murdered man seized him and said: "You are the killer of my brother, and I have the right to kill you." The man replied: "You have already killed me once." He was then brought before Umar, who ordered his execution. As he was being taken away, he cried out: "O' people, by Allah (swt), he has already killed me once!" They passed by Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) and informed him of the situation. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Do not rush to kill him until I come out to you." Imam (as) entered upon Umar and said: "This is not the correct ruling in this matter." Umar asked: "Then what is it, O' Abu Al-Hasan (as)?" Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) replied: "This man should exact retribution from the brother of the first murdered man for what he did to him, and then he can be executed for his brother." The man thought that if he took retribution, it would lead to his own death, so he pardoned him, and they both left each other in peace. [BOOK=BOOK ON BEQUESTS (WASIYYAH)] كِتَابُ الْوَصِيَّةِ
