Chapter on What is Obligatory Upon One Who Tortures His Slave Until He Dies
1 hadith
فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ: "أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ عَذَّبَ عَبْدَهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ فَضَرَبَهُ مِائَةً نَكَالاً وَ حَبَسَهُ وَ غَرَّمَهُ قِيمَةَ اَلْعَبْدِ وَ تَصَدَّقَ بِهَا".
In a narration from Al-Sakuni, it is reported that a man was brought before Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام who had tortured his slave until the slave died. Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام ordered that the man be lashed one hundred times as a form of punishment, imprisoned him, and required him to pay the value of the slave, which was then given in charity.
