موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب القسامةBook: On the Explanation of Qasamah (Oath in Murder Cases)
بَابُ الْقَسَامَةِ فِي الْعَبِيدِQasama (oath procedure) regarding slaves
Hadith 1540Q13
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a slave is killed intentionally or by mistake, then neither qasamah nor oath is upon his master, and the master will be entitled to the price only when he brings just witnesses, two or one and takes an oath for the other; I have heard this as good.
