قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا لِلرَّجُلِ يُعَاقِبُ بِهِ مَمْلُوكَهُ فَقَالَ عَلَى قَدْرِ ذَنْبِهِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فَقَدْ عَاقَبْتَ حَرِيزاً بِأَعْظَمَ مِنْ جُرْمِهِ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ هُوَ مَمْلُوكٌ لِي وَ إِنَّ حَرِيزاً شَهَرَ السَّيْفَ وَ لَيْسَ مِنِّي مَنْ شَهَرَ السَّيْفَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, from Abu Al Abbas who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What is for the man he can punish his slave with?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Upon the measurement of his sin’. So I said, ‘So I have punished Hareza with greater than his offence’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Woe be unto you! He was a slave of mine<sup>asws</sup>, and Hareyz brandished the sword, and the one who brandishes the sword is not from me<sup>asws</sup>’.
