لَا تَعْقِلُ الْعَاقِلَةُ عَمْدًا وَلَا عَبْدًا وَلَا صُلْحًا وَلَا اعْتِرَافًا قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ قَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي تَأْوِيلِ قَوْلِهِ وَلَا عَبْدًا فَقَالَ لِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ إِنَّمَا مَعْنَاهُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ الْعَبْدُ حُرًّا يَقُولُ فَلَيْسَ عَلَى عَاقِلَةِ مَوْلَاهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ جِنَايَةِ عَبْدِهِ وَإِنَّمَا جِنَايَتُهُ فِي رَقَبَتِهِ وَاحْتَجَّ فِي ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ
