Hadith.5209 - Hisham ibn Salim narrated from Ziyad ibn Suqah from Al-Hakam ibn Utaybah, who said
I asked Abu Jafar (as), "What do you say about intentional and accidental killing and in cases of injuries?" Imam (as) replied: "Accidental killing is not the same as intentional killing. In intentional killing, execution (qiṣaṣ) applies, and for injuries, retribution applies. In accidental killing and injuries, there is blood money (diyyah)." Then Imam (as) said to me: "O' Hakam, if the unintentional act is committed by the killer or the one who inflicted the injury, and he is a Bedouin, then the diyyah for what the Bedouin has done by mistake falls upon his fellow Bedouin relatives. And if the one who caused the injury is a villager, then the diyyah for what he has done by mistake falls upon his fellow villagers."
5209 - وَ رَوَى هِشَامُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ عَنِ اَلْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اَلْعَمْدِ وَ اَلْخَطَإِ فِي اَلْقَتْلِ وَ فِي اَلْجِرَاحَاتِ فَقَالَ "لَيْسَ اَلْخَطَأُ مِثْلَ اَلْعَمْدِ اَلْعَمْدُ فِيهِ اَلْقَتْلُ وَ اَلْجِرَاحَاتُ فِيهَا اَلْقِصَاصُ وَ اَلْخَطَأُ فِي اَلْقَتْلِ وَ اَلْجِرَاحَاتِ فِيهِمَا اَلدِّيَةُ" وَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي "يَا حَكَمُ إِذَا كَانَ اَلْخَطَأُ مِنَ اَلْقَاتِلِ أَوِ اَلْخَطَأُ مِنَ اَلْجَارِحِ وَ كَانَ بَدَوِيّاً فَدِيَةُ مَا جَنَى اَلْبَدَوِيُّ مِنَ اَلْخَطَإِ عَلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِ مِنَ اَلْبَدَوِيِّينَ" قَالَ "وَ إِذَا كَانَ اَلْجَارِحُ قَرَوِيّاً فَإِنَّ دِيَةَ مَا جَنَى مِنَ اَلْخَطَإِ عَلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِ اَلْقَرَوِيِّينَ".
