Hadith 249
Hadith.5218 - Samaah narrated from Abu Basir from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) regarding the saying of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic: "But if any remission is made by the brother of the slain, then grant [him] a suitable follow-up" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:178).
I asked: "What is that 'remission'?" Imam (as) said: "It is when a person accepts the blood money (diyyah). Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, commanded the one who has the right (the victim's heir) to pursue it in a good manner and not to make it difficult, and He (swt) commanded the one who owes the blood money not to wrong him and to pay it with kindness when he becomes able to do so." I then asked: "What about Allah's (swt) saying: 'But whoever transgresses after that will have a painful punishment'?" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:178). Imam (as) said: "This refers to the person who accepts the blood money or agrees to a settlement and then later comes back to mutilate or kill (the killer). Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has promised him a painful punishment."
5218 - وَ رَوَى سَمَاعَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ۝ فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْءٌ فَاتِّبٰاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ۝ مَا ذَاكَ اَلشَّيْءُ قَالَ
"هُوَ اَلرَّجُلُ يَقْبَلُ اَلدِّيَةَ فَأَمَرَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اَلَّذِي لَهُ اَلْحَقُّ أَنْ يَتَّبِعَهُ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَ لاَ يُعْسِرَهُ وَ أَمَرَ اَلَّذِي عَلَيْهِ اَلْحَقُّ أَنْ لاَ يَظْلِمَهُ وَ أَنْ يُؤَدِّيَهُ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَانٍ إِذَا أَيْسَرَ" فَقُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ قَوْلَهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ۝ فَمَنِ اِعْتَدىٰ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَلَهُ عَذٰابٌ أَلِيمٌ ۝ قَالَ "هُوَ اَلرَّجُلُ يَقْبَلُ اَلدِّيَةَ أَوْ يُصَالِحُ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ بَعْدُ فَيُمَثِّلُ أَوْ يَقْتُلُ فَوَعَدَهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَذَاباً أَلِيماً".
