[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever kills his slave, we will kill him, and whoever mutilates his slave, we will mutilate him." Qatadah said, "Then Al-Hasan forgot this hadeeth." He said, "A free man should not be killed for killing a slave." The sheikh said, "It seems that Al-Hasan did not forget the hadeeth, but he refrained from narrating it due to its weakness. And most of the people of knowledge refrained from narrating from Al-Hasan from Samurah. And some of them went so far as to say that he did not hear anything from him except for the hadeeth of Al-Aqeeqah." 15947 Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us, narrating from Abu Al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, who said, "I heard Al-Abbas ibn Muhammad say, 'I heard Yahya ibn Ma'in say, "Abu An-Nadr Hashim ibn Al-Qasim narrated from Shu'bah, who said, 'Al-Hasan did not hear anything from Samurah.'" He said, "And I heard Yahya ibn Ma'in say, 'Al-Hasan did not hear anything from Samurah.'" He said, "It is a lie." Yahya said about the hadeeth of Al-Hasan from Samurah, "Whoever kills his slave, we will kill him." That is among what the people of Baghdad heard, and Al-Hasan did not hear from Samurah. As for Ali ibn Al-Madini, he confirmed that Al-Hasan heard from Samurah. And Allah knows best.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَتَلَ عَبْدَهُ قَتَلْنَاهُ وَمَنْ جَدَعَ عَبْدَهُ جَدَعْنَاهُ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَ نَسِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ لَا يُقْتَلُ حُرٌّ بِعَبْدٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْحَسَنُ لَمْ ينْسَ الْحَدِيثَ لَكِنْ رَغِبَ عَنْهُ لِضَعْفِهِ وَأَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالْحَدِيثِ رَغِبُوا عَنْ رِوَايَةِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ وَذَهَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يسْمَعْ مِنْهُ غَيْرَ حَدِيثِ الْعَقِيقَةِ 15947 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ لَمْ يسْمَعِ الْحَسَنُ مِنْ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ مَعِينٍ يَقُولُ لَمْ يسْمَعِ الْحَسَنُ مِنْ سَمُرَةَ شَيْئًا هُوَ كِتَابٌ قَالَ يَحْيَى فِي حَدِيثِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ مَنْ قَتَلَ عَبْدَهُ قَتَلْنَاهُ ذَاكَ فِي سَمَاعِ الْبَغْدَادِيِّينَ وَلَمْ يسْمَعِ الْحَسَنُ مِنْ سَمُرَةَ وَأَمَّا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ فَكَانَ يُثْبِتُ سَمَاعَ الْحَسَنِ مِنْ سَمُرَةَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
