Mishkat al-Masabih #3405
Retaliation
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ جَرِيرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَبَقَ الْعَبْدُ إِلَى الشِّرْكِ فقد حلَّ دَمه» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Jarir reported the Prophet as saying, “When a slave runs away and reverts to polytheism he may lawfully be killed.”
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
