العبد يجنى الجناية فيعتقه مولاه
A slave who commits an offence and is then freed by his master
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28956 — A slave who commits an offence
٢٨٩٥٦ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا عبد الصمد بن (عبد الوارث) (١) عن جرير بن حازم عن حماد سئل عن العبد يصيب الجناية قال: سيده بالخيار، إن شاء دفعه وإن شاء أسلمه، فإن أعتقه فعليه ثمن العبد، وليس على العبد شيء إذا أعتق.
It is narrated from Hammad that he was asked about a slave who commits an offense. He replied: His master has the choice: if he wishes he may hand the slave over, and if he wishes he may surrender him. If he sets him free, the value of the slave is due from him, and once the slave has been freed nothing is due from the slave.
