Hadith.5162 - Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Muhassin ibn Ahmad from Isa Al-Dhaif, who said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as): "A man has killed another man; what is his repentance?"
Imam (as) replied: "He should surrender himself."
I said: "He fears they will kill him."
Imam (as) said: "Then he should give them the blood money (diyyah)."
I said: "He fears they will find out."
Imam (as) said: "Then he should marry a woman from among them."
I said: "He fears she might reveal this to them."
Imam (as) said: "Then he should take the blood money, divide it into small bundles, observe the times of prayer, and secretly place it in their home."
5162 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَسِّنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عِيسَى اَلضَّعِيفِ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ قَتَلَ رَجُلاً مَا تَوْبَتُهُ فَقَالَ "يُمَكِّنُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ" قُلْتُ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ قَالَ "فَلْيُعْطِهِمُ اَلدِّيَةَ" قُلْتُ يَخَافُ أَنْ يَعْلَمُوا بِذَلِكَ قَالَ "فَلْيَتَزَوَّجْ إِلَيْهِمُ اِمْرَأَةً" قُلْتُ يَخَافُ أَنْ تُطْلِعَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ "فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى اَلدِّيَةِ فَيَجْعَلُهَا صُرَراً ثُمَّ لْيَنْظُرْ مَوَاقِيتَ اَلصَّلاَةِ فَلْيُلْقِهَا فِي دَارِهِمْ".
