He said: "It is the man whose tooth is broken, or who is wounded on his body; so he pardons [the perpetrator], and his sins are removed from him in proportion to what he has pardoned. If it was half of the blood money (diyah), then half of his sins are [removed]; if it was a quarter of the blood money, then a quarter of his sins; if it was a third of the blood money, then a third of his sins; and if it was the entirety of the blood money, then all of his sins [are removed]."
Surah al-Ma'idah from verse (46) to verse (47).
قَالَ:
هُوَ الرَّجُلُ تُكْسَرُ سِنُّهُ، أَوْ يُجْرَحُ فِي جَسَدِهِ؛ فَيَعْفُو فَيُحَطُّ عَنْهُ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ بِقَدْرِ مَا عَفَا عَنْهُ؛ إِنْ كَانَ نِصْفَ الدِّيَةِ فَنِصْفُ خَطَايَاهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ رُبُعَ الدِّيَةِ فَرُبُعُ خَطَايَاهُ، وَإِن كَانَ ثلث (ل ٨٤) الدِّيَة فثلث خطاياه، وَإِن كَانَت الدِّيَة كلهَا فخطاياه كلهَا ".
سُورَة الْمَائِدَة من الْآيَة (٤٦) إِلَى الْآيَة (٤٧).
