Hadith.5265 - Imam Abu Abdullah 
was asked about a slave who injured a free man.
Imam said: "If the free man wishes, he may take retribution (qisas) from him, and if he wishes, he may take the slave if the injury is severe enough to warrant his execution. If the injury does not warrant execution, then the slave's master must pay compensation (diyyah).
If the master refuses to pay the compensation, then the injured free man has a right over the slave equivalent to the diyyah of his injury, and the rest belongs to the master. The slave is then sold, the injured party takes his due, and the remainder is returned to the master."
