سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ مُدَبَّرٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلًا عَمْداً قَالَ يُقْتَلُ بِهِ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ قَتَلَهُ خَطَأً- قَالَ يُدْفَعُ إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَقْتُولِ فَيَكُونُ لَهُمْ رِقّاً فَإِنْ شَاءُوا اسْتَرَقُّوا وَ إِنْ شَاءُوا بَاعُوا وَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ الْمُدَبَّرَ مَمْلُوكٌ.

Hadith.5271 - Ibn Mahbub narrated from Hisham bin Salim from Abu Basir who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a mudabbar (a slave promised freedom after the owner's death) who intentionally killed a man. Imam (as) said: "He is to be killed in retaliation." I asked: "What if he killed him by mistake?" Imam (as) replied: "He is handed over to the heirs of the murdered person, and he becomes their slave. If they wish, they can enslave him, and if they wish, they can sell him, but they have no right to kill him." Then Imam (as) said: "O' Abu Muhammad, indeed the mudabbar is still a slave."
