When he claims that his hearing is lost

Ibn Jurayj said: It reached me that a man came to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz and said: So-and-so struck me until one of my ears went deaf. Umar said: How are we to know? He replied: Call the physicians. So he called the physicians, and they smelled it and said: This one is deaf.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning a man who claims that his hearing has been lost: That man shall be made to swear an oath on it.

It is narrated from Shurayh that a man claimed that his hearing had been lost. He said: The experts (al-dariyyun), meaning the physicians, shall examine him.

It is narrated from Mujahid: When he heard a thunderous sound and fainted, there is blood money (diyah) for it.

It is narrated from Ibrahim: He shall be called out to while he is unaware.

Al-Zubayr bin Junadah said: I asked Ata about a man who struck another, and the other's hearing was lost, although he could hear before that. Ata replied: He is to be left alone, and then when he is in a deep sleep, noise and clamor are to be made around him. If he does not wake, there will be blood money (diyah), and if he wakes, there will be a judge's assessment (hukumah).
