Summary
Yahya said: Malik said: the matter among us about slaves is that if a slave is struck, deliberately or by mistake, and then his master comes with a witness, he swears one oath with his witness, and then he receives the value of his slave. There is no oath of fifty for slaves, neither in deliberate nor accidental killing, and I have not heard anyone of the people of knowledge say otherwise. 1
