Aḥmad ibn Muqatil told us; my grandfather told us; Abū ʿAlī al-Ahwāzī told us; ʿImrān ibn al-Ḥasan told us; Abū al-Faḍl al-Sulamī narrated to us; Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad ibn Ḥammād narrated to us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṣāliḥ narrated to us; and Mūsā ibn ʿAlī narrated to us, from his father:
“A blind man had a sighted guide. The guide became inattentive, so both of them fell into a well. The sighted man died, while the blind man survived.
ʿUmar—may Allah be pleased with him—placed the blood money upon the ʿāqilah (1) of the blind man. I heard him proclaim during the Ḥajj:
O people, I have witnessed a deplorable affair—
can the blind, sound man comprehend (2) the seeing?
Both tumbled together, both were broken… (3)”
