Hazrat Mak'hool narrates that when Hazrat Umar came to us at Bayt al-Maqdis, Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit gave his mount to a dhimmi person so that he might hold it, but he refused. So he (Ubadah) inflicted a deep wound on him, then entered the mosque. When Hazrat Umar heard the sound of a scream, he said: Who has caused him pain? Hazrat Ubadah said: I am the one sought for this. He (Umar) asked: What did you do to him? He replied: I gave him my mount to hold, but he refused, and I am a man upon whom the hadd (legal punishment) has become incumbent. He (Umar) said: It is not so; rather, sit for qisas (retaliation). Upon this, Hazrat Zayd bin Thabit said to him: No, you cannot exact qisas from your brother for your slave. He (Umar) said: By Allah! If I forgo your qisas, I will surely put you to hardship regarding the blood money; you must pay him his blood money twice.

And Hazrat Hammad said: If people testify that on the day he was struck, his eye was sound, then in this case it is permissible.

Hazrat Simak narrates that Hazrat Hansh bin Mu'tamir said: In Yemen, a pit was dug for a lion, and the lion fell into it. People were crowding and pushing each other at the edge of the well when suddenly a man was about to fall in, so he grabbed another, and the second grabbed a third, thus a total of four people fell into the pit and all of them died. People did not understand what to do about this matter. Meanwhile, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and said: If you wish, I will make a decision among you which will be permissible for you in the sense that you may go to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: Surely, I will place the burden of blood money on those who were present at the edge of the well. And he made one-fourth of the blood money obligatory for the first person who fell into the well, one-third for the second person, half for the third, and the full blood money for the fourth. So all the people agreed to this until they came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him about the decision of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) enforced that decision.
