Punishment for Killing or Mutilating Slaves

SUMMARY: Killing or mutilating a slave is not allowed and will be punished.

It was narrated that Samurah said: "The Prophet said: 'Whoever kills his slave, we will kill him, and whoever mutilates his slave, we will mutilate him"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ قَتَلَ عَبْدَهُ قَتَلْنَاهُ وَمَنْ جَدَعَ عَبْدَهُ جَدَعْنَاهُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect all human life regardless of social status; Do not mistreat vulnerable people; Do not practice slavery; Follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith states that the Prophet Muhammad forbade killing or mutilating slaves. This means that it is not allowed to take away someone's life, nor harm them in any way. It also implies that slavery is wrong and should not be practiced. The punishment for those who do so will be severe, as they will receive the same treatment they gave to their slaves. This hadith teaches us to respect all human life, regardless of their social status, and reminds us of our responsibility towards others in society. It also serves as a warning against mistreating people who are vulnerable and may lack power in society due to their position or circumstances.
