6896. Ibn 'Umar said: A boy was assassinated. 'Umar said, "If all the people of Ṣan'ā(1) took part in the assassination I would kill them all." Al-Mughīra bin Ḥakīm said that his father said, "Four persons killed a boy, and 'Umar said (as above)." Abū Bakr, Ibn Az-Zubair, 'Alī and Suwaid bin Muqarrin gave the judgement of Al-Qišās (equality in punishment) in cases of slapping. And 'Umar carried out Al-Qišās for a strike with a stick. And 'Alī carried out Al-Qišās for three lashes with a whip. And Shuraiḥ carried out for one lash and for scratching.

Arabic text

وَقَالَ مُطَرِّفٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ: فِي رَجُلَيْنِ شَهِدَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ أَنَّهُ سَرَقَ، فَقَطَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ، ثُمَّ جَاءَا بِآخَرَ وَقَالاَ: أَخْطَأْنَا، فَأَبْطَلَ شَهَادَتَهُمَا، وَأُخِذَا بِدِيَةِ الأَوَّلِ، وَقَالَ: «لَوْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكُمَا تَعَمَّدْتُمَا لَقَطَعْتُكُمَا» 6896 - وَقَالَ لِي ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّ غُلاَمًا قُتِلَ غِيلَةً، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: «لَوِ اشْتَرَكَ فِيهَا أَهْلُ صَنْعَاءَ لَقَتَلْتُهُمْ» وَقَالَ مُغِيرَةُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: «إِنَّ أَرْبَعَةً قَتَلُوا صَبِيًّا»، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: مِثْلَهُ وَأَقَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَعَلِيٌّ وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ مُقَرِّنٍ مِنْ لَطْمَةٍ وَأَقَادَ عُمَرُ، مِنْ ضَرْبَةٍ بِالدِّرَّةِ وَأَقَادَ عَلِيٌّ، مِنْ ثَلاَثَةِ أَسْوَاطٍ وَاقْتَصَّ شُرَيْحٌ، مِنْ سَوْطٍ وَخُمُوشٍ
