Hadith.5320 - In the narration of Jamil ibn Darraj from Ubayd ibn Zurarah, he said: I asked Abu Abdullah (as): "The ghurra (compensation for a miscarried fetus) is sometimes valued at one hundred dinars and sometimes at ten dinars." Imam (as) replied: "It is fifty."

Hadith.5266 - Imam Abu Abdullah (as) was asked about a man who inflicted a mudhiha (a wound exposing the bone) on a slave. Imam (as) said: "He is liable to pay half of one-tenth of the slave's value."

"A woman is entitled to a share of the blood money (diyyah) of her husband, and a man is entitled to a share of the blood money of his wife, as long as neither of them has killed the other."

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that brothers from mother’s side do not receive any share from the wergild.’”

I heard Abu Abdullah (as) say, "If a man were brought to me who had accused a Muslim slave of adultery, and we knew nothing about the slave except goodness, I would administer the legal punishment upon him - the same punishment as for a free person, except one lash less."

“God will not divulge the theft of a servant (someone) for as long as his penalty is less than (the expiation for) his hand. However, if the expiation for the theft is as much as (the expiation for) the thief’s hand, then God will make it known.”

I asked AbaAbdullah as-Sadiq to tell me about the major sins. The Imam (MGB) told me, ‘They are related to the following five which God has made incumbent not to do upon you. The Honorable the Exalted God has said, ‘Those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, eat up a Fire into their own bodies: They will soon be enduring a Blazing Fire!’ God has also said, ‘O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs to them.’ God has also said, ‘O ye who believe! Fear God, and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers.’ And accusing married women of adultery and intentionally killing a believer for his belief.’”

I asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a slave who commits adultery. Imam (as) said: "He is to be lashed half the prescribed punishment." I asked: "What if he does it again?" Imam (as) replied: "He is to be lashed the same amount." I asked: "What if he repeats it again?" Imam (as) said: "He is not to be given more than half the prescribed punishment." I asked: "Is he ever liable for stoning due to any of his actions?" Imam (as) replied: "Yes, he is to be killed on the eighth offense if he does it eight times." I asked: "What is the difference between him and a free man when their actions are the same?" Imam (as) said: "Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, had mercy on him by not combining the burden of slavery and the punishment of a free man upon him." Then Imam (as) said: "It is obligatory upon the leader of the Muslims to pay his price to his master from the zakat share allocated for freeing slaves."
