A man who falls on another man or leaps on him

Abu Awn said that a boy leapt upon another boy; the one below moved away and the tooth of the one on top broke. Shurayh held the one on top liable, and not the one below.

Imran bin Hudayr said that Abu Mijlaz said: If a man falls upon someone and then one of the two dies, the survivor will pay compensation. The narrator said: I asked: Why? He said: Because the blood of a Muslim is not to be treated as worthless.

Mansur said that two boys were playing when one of them threw the other down, as a result of which one received a head wound and the other's tooth broke. Ibrahim held the one who fell on top liable to the one below, and he did not hold the one below liable to the one on top.

Abu Husayn said: A man fell from the top of a house onto another man, and the one falling from above died. At this Shurayh said: "Shall I hold the ground liable?"

Jabir said that Amir said: If the one below dies, the one who fell from above will be held liable.

Ibrahim said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Two boys were playing, and one of them jumped onto the back of his companion. The tooth of the one on top was broken and the one below received a head wound, so he held each of them liable to the other.

Shu'bah said that al-Hakam said, concerning a man who fell onto someone from the roof of a house and one of them died: The one of them who is alive will be held liable.

Mughirah said: A man jumped onto someone. The front tooth of the one who jumped was broken, and the one he jumped onto received a head wound. Ibrahim declared the tooth of the one who jumped to be void, and held him liable for the wound of the one he jumped onto.
