٢٩٧٠١ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع قال: حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن حبيب بن أبي ثابت عن عامر عن مسروق أن ستة غلمة ذهبوا يسبحون، فغرق أحدهم فشهد ثلاثة على اثنين أنهما (غرقاه) (١)، وشهد اثنان على ثلاثة أنهم (غرقوه) (٢)، فقضى (علي) (٣) (أن) (٤) على الثلاثة خمسي الدية، وعلى الاثنين ثلاثة أخماس الدية (٥).
Hazrat Aamir narrates that Hazrat Masrooq said: Six children went to swim, and one of them drowned in the water. Then three children testified against two that those two had drowned him, and the two testified against the three that those three had drowned him. Upon this, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) decided that two-fifths of the blood money would be obligatory upon the three boys, and three-fifths of the blood money would be obligatory upon the two boys.
