[4:92] It is not for a believer to slay a believer, except by mistake. He who slays a believer by mistake, then let him set free a believing slave, and blood-money is to be submitted to his family, unless they remit it as a charity. If he belongs to a people at enmity with you and is a believer, then the setting free of a believing slave. If he belongs to a people between whom and you there is a covenant, then the blood-money must be paid to his family, and the setting free of a believing slave. But if he has not the wherewithal, then the fasting of two successive months, a relenting from God. And God is ever Knowing, Wise.
He mitigated the matter of the mistake for the perpetrator to the point of giving the burden of restitution to the larger group responsible for the bloodwit. The elite are those responsible for the bloodwit of the weak in the community and the people of mystical knowledge are those responsible for the bloodwit of the aspirants. The shaykhs are those responsible for the bloodwit of the disciples (fuqarāÌ), so their way is to bear the burdens of the weak in what afflicts them.
