Is the patron responsible for paying blood money (Diyya) for his freed slave?

Primary text

The patron is not responsible for paying the blood money for his freed slave. The responsibility for blood money rests upon the 'Asabat (male agnatic relatives). The argument that the patron should pay because the master bestowed a favor upon the slave is unfounded. This principle is contradicted by the fact that the 'Asabat pay blood money for others upon whom they bestowed no such favor, and by analogy with someone who pays another's debt—payment occurs, but blood money responsibility does not follow.
