271. hadíth
"وَ قَضَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي رَجُلٍ أَمَرَ عَبْدَهُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ رَجُلاً فَقَالَ "وَ هَلْ عَبْدُ اَلرَّجُلِ إِلاَّ كَسَيْفِهِ وَ سَوْطِهِ يُقْتَلُ اَلسَّيِّدُ بِهِ وَ يُسْتَوْدَعُ اَلْعَبْدُ اَلسِّجْنَ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ" ".
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) ruled in the case of a man who commanded his servant to kill another man. Imam (a.s) said: "Is not a man's servant like his sword and his whip? The master shall be executed for the crime, and the servant shall be imprisoned until he dies."
