Hadith.5230 - Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad narrated from Aban from Al-Fuḍayl ibn Yasar, who said
I asked Abu Jafar (as) about ten men who killed a man. Imam (as) said: "If the heirs of the murdered person wish, they may kill all of them and pay nine blood monies (diyyat). But if they prefer to choose one of them to execute, they may do so, and the remaining nine must each pay one-tenth of the blood money to the heirs of the murdered person." Imam (as) added, "Afterward, the governor is responsible for disciplining and imprisoning them."
5230 - رَوَى اَلْقَاسِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَشَرَةٌ قَتَلُوا رَجُلاً قَالَ "إِنْ شَاءَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ قَتَلُوهُمْ جَمِيعاً وَ غَرِمُوا تِسْعَ دِيَاتٍ وَ إِنْ شَاءُوا أَنْ يَتَخَيَّرُوا رَجُلاً فَيَقْتُلُوهُ قَتَلُوهُ وَ أَدَّى اَلتِّسْعَةُ اَلْبَاقُونَ إِلَى أَهْلِ اَلْمَقْتُولِ اَلْأَخِيرِ عُشْرَ اَلدِّيَةِ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ اَلْوَالِيَ يَلِي أَدَبَهُمْ وَ حَبْسَهُمْ".
