Ali, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen asws said regarding a man who ordered his slave that he should kill a man, so he killed him. So Amir Al-Momineen asws said: ‘And is a slave of the man anything except like his whip, or like his sword? The master would be killed due to it, and the slave would be left in the prison’.
