وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ الْمُقْرِئُ، بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ النِّجَّادُ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، قَالَا: ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَنْ قَتَلَ عَبْدَهُ قَتَلْنَاهُ، وَمَنْ جَدَعَ عَبْدَهُ جَدَعْنَاهُ " قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَ نَسِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ: لَا يُقْتَلُ حُرٌّ بِعَبْدٍ. قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْحَسَنُ لَمْ ينْسَ الْحَدِيثَ، لَكِنْ رَغِبَ عَنْهُ لِضَعْفِهِ. وَأَكْثَرُ ⦗٦٥⦘ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالْحَدِيثِ رَغِبُوا عَنْ رِوَايَةِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، وَذَهَبَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يسْمَعْ مِنْهُ غَيْرَ حَدِيثِ الْعَقِيقَةِ..
Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever kills his slave, we will kill him; and whoever cuts off a limb of his, we will cut off his limb." Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Then al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) forgot this hadith and began to say: A free man is not to be killed for a slave. Al-Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is possible that al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) did not forget it, but rather abandoned it because of its weakness. Most of the scholars of hadith turned away from al-Hasan's narrations from Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him), and some of them held that al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) did not hear any hadith from Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) except the hadith of the aqiqah.
