عَبْدٍ وَ حُرٍّ قَتَلَا رَجُلًا حُرّاً قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ قَتَلَ الْحُرَّ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ قَتَلَ الْعَبْدَ فَإِنِ اخْتَارَ قَتْلَ الْحُرِّ ضَرَبَ جَنْبَيِ الْعَبْدِ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from one of his companions, from Yahya Bin Al Mubarak, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Abu Jameela, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding a slave and a free both killed a free man. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he (guardian of the deceased) so desires to, he can kill the free one, and if he so desires to he can kill the slave. So if he were to choose to kill the free one, he should whip the side of the slave’.
