Hadith.5200 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Hayy, who said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who was found murdered. Two men came to guardian of the victim; one of them said: "I killed him intentionally," and other said: "I killed him by mistake."
Imam (as) said: "If the guardian accepts the statement of the one who confessed to intentional killing, then he has no claim against the one who confessed to accidental killing.
And if he accepts the statement of the one who confessed to accidental killing, then he has no claim against the one who confessed to intentional killing."
5200 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ حَيٍّ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ ع عَنْ رَجُلٍ وُجِدَ مَقْتُولاً فَجَاءَ رَجُلاَنِ إِلَى وَلِيِّهِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَنَا قَتَلْتُهُ عَمْداً وَ قَالَ اَلْآخَرُ أَنَا قَتَلْتُهُ خَطَأً فَقَالَ "إِنْ هُوَ أَخَذَ بِقَوْلِ صَاحِبِ اَلْعَمْدِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عَلَى صَاحِبِ اَلْخَطَإِ شَيْءٌ وَ إِنْ هُوَ أَخَذَ بِقَوْلِ صَاحِبِ اَلْخَطَإِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ عَلَى صَاحِبِ اَلْعَمْدِ شَيْءٌ".
