فِي عَبْدٍ جَرَحَ حُرّاً قَالَ إِنْ شَاءَ الْحُرُّ اقْتَصَّ مِنْهُ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ أَخَذَهُ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْجِرَاحَةُ تُحِيطُ بِرَقَبَتِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَا تُحِيطُ بِرَقَبَتِهِ افْتَدَاهُ مَوْلَاهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى مَوْلَاهُ أَنْ يَفْتَدِيَهُ كَانَ لِلْحُرِّ الْمَجْرُوحِ مِنَ الْعَبْدِ بِقَدْرِ دِيَةِ جِرَاحَتِهِ وَ الْبَاقِي لِلْمَوْلَى يُبَاعُ الْعَبْدُ فَيَأْخُذُ الْمَجْرُوحُ حَقَّهُ وَ يُرَدُّ الْبَاقِي عَلَى الْمَوْلَى .
Translation
And from him, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, both together from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Al Fuzayl Bin Yasaar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said regarding a salve having injured a free: ‘If the free one so desires to he can retaliate from it, and if he so desires to he can seize him, if it was such that the injuries exceeded his freedom (price), and if it did not exceed his freedom price, his master has to ransom him. So if his master refuses to ransom him, there would be for the free one, the injured, a wergild of the measure of his injuries sustained, and the remainder would be for the master. The slave would be sold, so the injured would take his right, and return the remainder upon the master’.
