اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا خَلِيفَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”مَنْ ضَرَبَ ضَرْبًا ظُلْمًا اقْتُصَّ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.“
It is narrated from another chain from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever strikes someone unjustly, retribution will be taken from him on the Day of Resurrection."

Benefits and Issues:
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has brought these narrations under the chapter of retribution (qisas) for a slave, even though there is no explicit mention of a slave in them. The answer to this is that the retribution for a free person is taken in this world, whereas the retribution for a slave is not taken in this world; therefore, in these narrations, what is meant is the killing of a slave. Or, it refers to those oppressed individuals who could not obtain their retribution in this world. In some narrations, there is explicit mention of a slave.
