٤٩۔ كِتَابُ النَّفَقَاتِ
لَا أُقِيدُ مِنَ الْعِظَامِ
[Machine] A man broke another man's thigh, and the injured man took the case to Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). He said, "O Commander of the Faithful, give me retribution." Umar replied, "You do not have the right to retribution; you are entitled to compensation." The injured man said, "Listen to me just as the snake, if killed takes revenge and if left alone, gets healed." Umar responded, "You are like the snake."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَسَرَ فَخِذَ رَجُلٍ فَخَاصَمَهُ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَقِدْنِي قَالَ لَيْسَ لَكَ الْقَوَدُ إِنَّمَا لَكَ الْعَقْلُ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَاسْمَعْنِي كَالْأَرْقَمِ إِنْ يُقْتَلْ يَنْقَمْ وَإِنْ يُتْرَكْ يَلْقَمْ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ كَالْأَرْقَمِ
[Machine] Ismail in his statement and they used to say that strength is among people from every break or injury, except that there is no strength in a disabled person, a lame person, or a sick person, no matter what their condition. And Isa said in his statement and they used to say that the thigh is part of the thigh and it has been narrated in this from the Prophet ﷺ with chains of narration that cannot be matched.
إِسْمَاعِيلُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ الْقَوَدُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ مِنْ كُلِّ كَسْرٍ أَوْ جَرْحٍ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا قَوَدَ فِي مَأْمُومَةٍ وَلَا جَائِفَةٍ وَلَا مُتْلِفٍ كَائِنًا مَا كَانَ وَقَالَ عِيسَى فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ الْفَخِذُ مِنَ الْمَتَالِفِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِي هَذَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِأَسَانِيدَ لَا يَثْبُتُ مِثْلُهَا
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no strength in being imitated."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَيْسَ فِي الْمَأْمُومَةِ قَوَدٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no strength in the prayer of the imam, the one offering friday prayer alone, and the one praying while moving." Ibn Lahia also narrated it from Mu'adh.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا قَوَدَ فِي الْمَأْمُومَةِ وَلَا الْجَائِفَةِ وَلَا الْمُنَقِّلَةِ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ مُعَاذٍ
a man struck another man on the wrist with his sword and severed it, not at the joint. He appealed to the Prophet ﷺ who ordered that the Diyah be paid. The man said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I want retaliation.” He said: “Take the compensation and may Allah bless you therein.” And he did not rule that he be allowed retaliation. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2636)
أَنَّ رَجُلًا ضَرَبَ رَجُلًا بِالسَّيْفِ عَلَى سَاعِدِهِ فَقَطَعَهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ مَفْصِلٍ فَاسْتَعْدَى عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِالدِّيَةِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُرِيدُ الْقِصَاصَ قَالَ لَهُ خُذِ الدِّيَةَ بَارَكَ اللهُ لَكَ فِيهَا وَلَمْ يَقْضِ لَهُ بِالْقِصَاصِ
[Machine] Tawous mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no divorce before owning, nor retaliation for what is less than obvious injuries. This is severed."
عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ذَكَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا طَلَاقَ قَبْلَ مِلْكٍ وَلَا قِصَاصَ فِيمَا دُونَ الْمُوضِحَةِ مِنَ الْجِرَاحَاتِ هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ
أَنَّ خَالِدًا أَقَادَ مِنْ لَطْمَةٍ
[Machine] "And Ibn Abi Layla said, 'I do not know, perhaps it could be severe, so he would be slapped without it being as harsh, or it could be less severe than that.' The scholar said, 'The jurists of the lands have agreed that there is no punishment in it, due to the saying of Allah, "And for you in legal retribution, there is life" [Al-Baqarah 179]. And legal retribution is equality and similarity, and considering equality between the two slaps is difficult. And Allah knows best. And it has been narrated to us in the chapter of killing the Imam and injuring him what suggests the obligation of legal retribution in striking with a wooden stick or a whip, and that is understood by them to occur from a wound or injury that can be considered for similarity in it. That has been narrated in some of those reports, or it could be understood that he has seen his punishment by doing to him what is similar to his action. And Allah knows best."
وَقَالَ وَابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى لَا أَعْرِفُ لَعَلَّهَا تَكُونُ شَدِيدَةً فَيُلْطَمُ دُونَهَا وَتَكُونُ دُونَهَا فَيُلْطَمُ أَشَدَّ مِنْهَا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ فُقَهَاءُ الْأَمْصَارِ عَلَى أَنْ لَا قَوَدَ فِيهَا لِقَوْلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى {وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقِصَاصِ حَيَاةٌ} [البقرة 179] وَالْقِصَاصُ هُوَ الْمُسَاوَاةُ وَالْمُمَاثَلَةُ وَاعْتِبَارُ الْمُسَاوَاةِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ اللَّطْمَتَيْنِ مُتَعَذِّرٌ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَرُوِّينَا فِي بَابِ قَتْلِ الْإِمَامِ وَجَرْحِهِ مَا يُوهِمُ وُجُوبَ الْقِصَاصِ فِي الضَّرْبِ بِالْخَشَبَةِ وَالسَّوْطِ وَذَلِكَ مَحْمُولٌ عِنْدَهُمْ عَلَى حُصُولِ شَجَّةٍ أَوْ جُرْحٍ بِهَا يُمْكِنُ اعْتِبَارُ الْمُمَاثَلَةِ فِيهَا فَقَدْ رُوِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي بَعْضِ تِلْكَ الْأَخْبَارِ أَوْ يَكُونُ مَحْمُولًا عَلَى أَنَّهُ رَأَى تَعْزِيرَهُ بِأَنْ يَفْعَلَ بِهِ مِنْ جِنْسِ فِعْلِهِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
