41/7. Chapter:

If A Man Kills His Slave Or Mutilates Him, Should Retaliation Be Imposed On Him ?

Sunan Abi DawudHadith Number 4517

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، بِإِسْنَادِ شُعْبَةَ مِثْلَهُ زَادَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَ نَسِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لاَ يُقْتَلُ حُرٌّ بِعَبْدٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Qatadah transmitted the tradition mentioned above through a chain of narrators like that of Shu'bah. This version adds: Then al-Hasan forgot this tradition, and he used to say: A free man is not to be killed for a slave.
