"عَنْ عَلِىًّ قَالَ: إِذَا أَمَرَ الرَّجُلُ عَبْدَهُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَجُلًا فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ كَسَيْفِهِ أَوْ بِسَوْطِهِ يُقْتَلُ الْمولَى وَيُحْبَسُ الْعَبْدُ فِى السِّجْنِ".

[Machine] To kill a man, it is only like his sword or his clothing. The master is killed and the slave is imprisoned.

البيهقي:١٦٠٢٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ ثنا الرَّبِيعُ قَالَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ خِلَاسٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ إِذَا أَمَرَ الرَّجُلُ عَبْدَهُ

أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَجُلًا فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ كَسَيْفِهِ أَوْ كَسَوْطِهِ يُقْتَلُ الْمَوْلَى وَيُحْبَسُ الْعَبْدُ فِي السِّجْنِ
