Hadith 393

Hadith.5362 - Muhammad ibn Aslam Al-Jabali narrated from Yunus ibn Abd Al-Rahman, who narrated from Abdullah ibn Muskan, who narrated from Abu Basir, who said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who is killed while he has debt and possesses no wealth. Do his heirs have the right to pardon his killer while he has debt?
Imam (as) said: "The creditors are the ones who have a claim against the killer. If his heirs pardon his killer, they become responsible for paying the debt to the creditors. If they do not pardon him, then they are not responsible."
5362 - رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ اَلْجَبَلِيُّ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُقْتَلُ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ فَهَلْ لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ أَنْ يَهَبُوا دَمَهُ لِقَاتِلِهِ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَالَ "إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ اَلدَّيْنِ هُمُ اَلْخُصَمَاءُ لِلْقَاتِلِ فَإِنْ وَهَبَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ دَمَهُ لِلْقَاتِلِ ضَمِنُوا اَلدَّيْنَ لِلْغُرَمَاءِ وَ إِلاَّ فَلاَ".
