"عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِى يَقُولُ: إِنَّ أَعْمَى كَانَ يُنْشِدُ فِى المَوْسِم فِى خَلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَقِيتُ مُنْكَرَا... هَلْ يَعْقِلُ الأَعْمَى الصَّحِيحَ الْمُبْصِرَا خَرَّا مَعًا كِلاَهُمَا تَكَسَّرا وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَعْمَى كَانَ يَقُودُهُ بَصِيرٌ فَوَقَعَا فِى بِئْرٍ، فَوَقَعَ الأَعْمَى عَلَى الْبَصِيرِ فَمَاتَ الْبَصِيرُ، فَقَضِى عُمَرُ بِعَقْلِ الْبَصِيرِ عَلَى الأَعْمَى".

"Musa ibn 'Ali ibn Rabah narrated: I heard my father say: A blind man used to recite poetry at the season during the caliphate of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, saying: 'O people, I have met with something strange... Can the blind man comprehend the one who sees? Both fell down together and were broken.' That was because a blind man was being led by one who could see, and they both fell into a well; the blind man fell on the one who could see, and the one who could see died. So 'Umar judged that the blood money (diyah) of the one who could see be paid by the blind man."
