Hadith 18:455

Abu Bakr narrated to us, he said: Hafs narrated to us, from Hajjaj, from Husayn al-Harithi, from al-Sha’bi, from al-Harith, from Ali, who said: Whatever the slave commits of a crime, it is upon his neck (i.e., his responsibility). And his master is given the choice: if he wishes, he may ransom him, and if he wishes, he may hand him over.

حدثنا أبو بكر قال حدثنا حفص عن حجاج عن حصين الحارثي عن الشعبي عن الحارث عن علي قال ما جنى العبد ففي رقبته ويخير مولاه إن شاء فداه وإن شاء دفعه
