680. hadíth
وَ رَوَى اَلسَّكُونِيُّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: فِي رَجُلٍ أَمَرَ عَبْدَهُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَجُلاً فَقَتَلَهُ قَالَ "هَلْ عَبْدُ اَلرَّجُلِ إِلاَّ كَسَوْطِهِ وَ سَيْفِهِ فَقُتِلَ اَلسَّيِّدُ وَ اُسْتُودِعَ اَلْعَبْدُ اَلسِّجْنَ ".
Al-Sakuni narrated through his chain of transmission that Commander of the Faithful (a.s) said regarding a man who ordered his slave to kill another man, and the slave carried out the order: (Imam (a.s) said) "Is not the slave like his master's whip or sword?" Therefore, the master was executed, and the slave was imprisoned.
