Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29322 — A free man who kills another's slave

Suhayl bin Abi Salih said: I asked Sa'id bin al-Musayyib about a free man who had killed a slave. He said: "He is to be killed in return for that slave." The narrator said: I then came to him again, and he said: "He is to be killed in return for that slave." Then he said: "By Allah, even if all the people of Yemen joined together in killing that slave, I would kill them all in return for him."
