Hadith.5358 - It is narrated from Abu Jamilah, from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a deceased person whose head was cut off. Imam (as) said: "The blood money is upon the one who did it." I asked: "Who receives his blood money?" Imam (as) said: "The Imam, for this belongs to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic. And if his right hand or any of his limbs is cut off, the compensation (Al-arsh) is also due to the Imam."
5358 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَيِّتٌ قُطِعَ رَأْسُهُ قَالَ "عَلَيْهِ اَلدِّيَةُ" قُلْتُ فَمَنْ يَأْخُذُ دِيَتَهُ قَالَ "اَلْإِمَامُ هَذَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ قُطِعَتْ يَمِينُهُ أَوْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ جَوَارِحِهِ فَعَلَيْهِ اَلْأَرْشُ لِلْإِمَامِ".
