Bayhaqi 16328 — Reports on the sightless eye and the paralysed hand

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، قَضَى فِي الْعَيْنِ الْقَائِمَةِ إِذَا طُفِئَتْ، ⦗١٧٢⦘ أَوْ قَالَ: بُخِقَتْ بِمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ مَالِكٌ: لَيْسَ عَلَى هَذَا الْعَمَلُ، إِنَّمَا فِيهَا الِاجْتِهَادُ، لَا شَيْءَ مُوَقَّتٌ وَقَدْ يَحْتَمِلُ قَوْلُ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ اجْتَهَدَ فِيهَا، فَرَأَى الِاجْتِهَادَ فِيهَا قَدْرَ خُمُسِهَا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَيَحْتَمِلُ قَوْلُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مَا احْتَمَلَ قَوْلُ زَيْدٍ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي الْعَيْنِ الْعَوْرَاءِ حُكْمٌ، وَفِي الْيَدِ الشَّلَّاءِ حُكْمٌ، وَفِي لِسَانِ الْأَخْرَسِ حُكْمٌ وَعَنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي الْعَيْنِ الْقَائِمَةِ، وَالْيَدِ الشَّلَّاءِ، وَلِسَانِ الْأَخْرَسِ، حُكُومَةٌ عَدْلٌ.
Sulayman bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled a diyah (blood money) of one hundred dinars for an eye that had been put out.
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This is a matter of ijtihad (independent judgement); nothing is fixed, and Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) exercised ijtihad and set it at one fifth of the diyah of the eye.
The Shaykh said: The saying of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) also bears the same possibility as the saying of Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him). And it is also reported from Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) that for an eye that has been put out, a paralysed hand and a mute tongue, there is this same ruling.
And Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: For an eye that is put out, a paralysed hand and a mute tongue, a just ruler is to give a judgement.
