Sunan Abi Dawud 4516 (Book 41, Hadith 23) #24807
Punishment for Castrating Slaves

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against castrating slaves and said that whoever does so will be punished in the same way.

Narrated Qatadah: Through the same chain of narrators as mentioned before, ie Samurah reported the Messenger of Allah as saying: If anyone castrates his slave, we shall castrate him. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition like that of Sh'ubah and Hammad. Abu Dawud said: Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi transmitted it from Hisham like the tradition of Mu'adh.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ مَنْ خَصَى عَبَدَهُ خَصَيْنَاهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ وَحَمَّادٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ عَنْ هِشَامٍ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ مُعَاذٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the punishment for castrating slaves. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warned against castrating slaves and said that whoever does so will be punished in the same way. This means that if someone were to castrate a slave then they would also be subjected to the same punishment as their slave. This hadith teaches us to treat our slaves with respect and kindness as we would want others to treat us with respect and kindness too. It also teaches us not to take advantage of those who are weaker than us or have less power than we do because it is wrong and unjust. We should always strive for justice no matter what situation we find ourselves in or who we are dealing with.
