لَا يُقْتَلُ حُرٌّ بِعَبْدٍ وَ إِنْ قَتَلَهُ عَمْداً وَ لَكِنْ يُغَرَّمُ ثَمَنَهُ وَ يُضْرَبُ ضَرْباً شَدِيداً إِذَا قَتَلَهُ عَمْداً وَ قَالَ دِيَةُ الْمَمْلُوكِ ثَمَنُهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> has said: ‘The free would not be killed due to a slave, even if he kills him deliberately, but he would be fined his price and would be whipped with an intense whipping when he kills him deliberately’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The wergild of the slave is his value’.
