5271 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ مُدَبَّرٍ قَتَلَ رَجُلاً عَمْداً قَالَ "يُقْتَلُ بِهِ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ قَتَلَهُ خَطَأً قَالَ "يُدْفَعُ إِلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اَلْمَقْتُولِ فَيَكُونُ لَهُمْ رِقّاً فَإِنْ شَاءُوا اِسْتَرَقُّوا وَ إِنْ شَاءُوا بَاعُوا وَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ" ثُمَّ قَالَ "يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ اَلْمُدَبَّرَ 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 
about a mudabbar (a slave promised freedom after the owner's death) who intentionally killed a man.
Imam said: "He is to be killed in retaliation."
I asked: "What if he killed him by mistake?"
Imam 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 said: "O' Abu Muhammad, indeed the mudabbar is still a slave."
