٤٩۔ كِتَابُ النَّفَقَاتِ
[Machine] That two men went to Ali and testified against a man that he stole. So Ali cut off his hand. Then they came to him with another man and said, "This is the one who stole, and we made a mistake with the first one." So their testimony was not accepted regarding the second man, and he fined them the blood money of the first one and said, "If I knew that you intentionally made a mistake, I would have cut off both of your hands."
أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ أَتَيَا عَلِيًّا ؓ فَشَهِدَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ أَنَّهُ سَرَقَ فَقَطَعَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ أَتَيَاهُ بِآخَرَ فَقَالَا هَذَا الَّذِي سَرَقَ وَأَخْطَأْنَا عَلَى الْأَوَّلِ فَلَمْ يُجِزْ شَهَادَتَهُمَا عَلَى الْآخَرِ وَغَرَّمَهُمَا دِيَةَ يَدِ الْأَوَّلِ وَقَالَ لَوْ أَعْلَمُكُمَا تَعَمَّدْتُمَا لَقَطَعْتُكُمَا
