41.7 If A Man Kills His Slave Or Mutilates Him, Should Retaliation Be Imposed On Him ?

٤١۔٧ باب مَنْ قَتَلَ عَبْدَهُ أَوْ مَثَّلَ بِهِ أَيُقَادُ مِنْهُ

abudawud:4515[Chain 1] ʿAlī b. al-Jaʿd > Shuʿbah [Chain 2] Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl > Ḥammād > Qatādah > al-Ḥasan > Samurah

The Prophet ﷺ Said: If anyone kills his slave, we shall kill him, and if anyone cuts off the nose of his slave, we shall cut off his nose.  

أبو داود:٤٥١٥حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ عَبْدَهُ قَتَلْنَاهُ وَمَنْ جَدَعَ عَبْدَهُ جَدَعْنَاهُ  

abudawud:4516Muḥammad b. al-Muthanná > Muʿādh b. Hishām from my father > Qatādah Biʾisnādih

Through the same chain of narrators as mentioned before, i.e. Samurah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If anyone castrates his slave, we shall castrate him. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition like that of Sh'ubah and Hammad. Abu Dawud said: Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi transmitted it from Hisham like the tradition of Mu'adh.  

أبو داود:٤٥١٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَنْ خَصَى عَبَدَهُ خَصَيْنَاهُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ وَحَمَّادٍ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ عَنْ هِشَامٍ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ مُعَاذٍ
abudawud:4517al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī > Saʿīd b. ʿĀmir > Ibn Abū ʿArūbah

Then al-Hasan forgot this tradition, and he used to say: A free man is not to be killed for a slave.  

أبو داود:٤٥١٧حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ

عَنْ قَتَادَةَ بِإِسْنَادِ شُعْبَةَ مِثْلَهُ زَادَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَ نَسِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ لاَ يُقْتَلُ حُرٌّ بِعَبْدٍ  

abudawud:4518Muslim b. Ibrāhīm > Hishām > Qatādah > al-Ḥasan

"A free man should not be subjected to retaliation in return for a slave."  

أبو داود:٤٥١٨حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ

لاَ يُقَادُ الْحُرُّ بِالْعَبْدِ  

abudawud:4519Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan b. Tasnīm al-ʿAtakī > Muḥammad b. Bakr > Sawwār Abū Ḥamzah > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

On his father's authority, said that his grandfather told that a A man came to the Prophet ﷺ crying for help. He said: His slave-girl, Messenger of Allah! He said: Woe to you, what happened with you ? He said that it was an evil one. He saw the slave-girl of his master; he became jealous of him, and cut off his penis. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Bring the man to me. The man was called, but people could not get control over him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Go away, you are free. He asked: Messenger of Allah! upon whom does my help lie? He replied: On every believer, or he said: On every Muslim. Abu Dawud said: The name of the man who was emancipated was Rawh b. Dinar Abu Dawud said: The man who cut off the penis was Zinba' Abu Dawud said: The Zinba' Abu Rawh was master of the slave.  

أبو داود:٤٥١٩حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ تَسْنِيمٍ الْعَتَكِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا سَوَّارٌ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مُسْتَصْرِخٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ جَارِيَةٌ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ مَا لَكَ قَالَ شَرًّا أَبْصَرَ لِسَيِّدِهِ جَارِيَةً لَهُ فَغَارَ فَجَبَّ مَذَاكِيرَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَىَّ بِالرَّجُلِ فَطُلِبَ فَلَمْ يُقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ حُرٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَنْ نُصْرَتِي قَالَ عَلَى كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ قَالَ كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ  

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الَّذِي عُتِقَ كَانَ اسْمُهُ رَوْحُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الَّذِي جَبَّهُ زِنْبَاعٌ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هَذَا زِنْبَاعٌ أَبُو رَوْحٍ كَانَ مَوْلَى الْعَبْدِ
