إِذَا قَتَلَ الْحُرُّ الْعَبْدَ غُرِّمَ قِيمَتَهُ وَ أُدِّبَ قِيلَ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ قِيمَتُهُ عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ قَالَ لَا يُجَاوَزُ بِقِيمَةِ عَبْدٍ دِيَةَ الْأَحْرَارِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Raib, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When the free kills the slave, he would be fined his value, and be disciplined, so even if his value was twenty thousand Dirhams’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not allowed for the value of a slave to exceed the wergild of the free ones’.
