Chapter on a Muslim Killing a Dhimmi, a Slave, a Mudabbar, or a Mukatab, or Them Killing a Muslim
وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي رَجُلٍ يَقْتُلُ مَمْلُوكَهُ مُتَعَمِّداً قَالَ "يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ يُعْتِقَ رَقَبَةً وَ يَصُومَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ وَ يُطْعِمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً ثُمَّ تَكُونَ اَلتَّوْبَةُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ".
Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi that Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said regarding a man who intentionally kills his slave: "I prefer that he frees a slave, fasts for two consecutive months, and feeds sixty needy people, and then he should repent after that."
