Sunan an-Nasai 4812 (Book 45, Hadith 107) #19345
Paying Equivalent Blood Money for Slaves

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad commanded that the Diyah (blood money) for a Mukatab (a slave who had paid off part of his freedom) should be equivalent to the Diyah for a free man.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that: a Mukatab was killed at the time of the Messenger of Allah and he commanded that the Diyah be paid (equivalent) to the Diyah for a free man, (proportionate to the amount he had paid off towards buying his freedom).
أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الأَشْعَثِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، وَعَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ مُكَاتَبًا، قُتِلَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُودَى مَا أَدَّى دِيَةَ الْحُرِّ وَمَا لاَ دِيَةَ الْمَمْلُوكِ
