It is narrated from Hazrat Ata that if a slave receives such a wound on his head or face that exposes the bone, then one twentieth of his value will be paid as compensation.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sha'bi that Qazi Shurayh gave the verdict that in the case of a slave's tooth or a wound on the head or face, the compensation should be equal to the value of the slave, that is, one twentieth of his value, just as is done in the case of wounds to the teeth, head, or face of a free man.

Hazrat Sha'bi narrates from Hazrat Qazi Shurayh in the same manner.
