حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، وَقَبِيصَةُ، قَالاَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ مَيْمُونِ بْنِ أَبِي شَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ قَالَ‏:‏ لاَ يَضْرِبُ أَحَدٌ عَبْدًا لَهُ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لَهُ إِلاَّ أُقِيدَ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Yusuf and Qabisa narrated to us. They said: Sufyan narrated to us, from Habib ibn Abi Thabit, from Maymun ibn Abi Shabib, from Ammar ibn Yasir, who said: 'If someone strikes his servant while wronging him, he will be subjected to retaliation for it on the Day of Resurrection.'

  • إِلاَّ أُقِيدَ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ‏.

    The verb aqīda indicates reciprocal requital/retaliation; the text does not specify the mechanics here.

    Should this remain general 'retaliation' or be rendered with the technical term qiṣāṣ?
