Quoting%20commentary for Bava Kamma 8:5

הַמַּכֶּה אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ וְעָשָׂה בָהֶן חַבּוּרָה, וְהַחוֹבֵל בַּחֲבֵרוֹ בְּשַׁבָּת, פָּטוּר מִכֻּלָּן, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא נִדּוֹן בְּנַפְשׁוֹ. וְהַחוֹבֵל בְּעֶבֶד כְּנַעֲנִי שֶׁלּוֹ, פָּטוּר מִכֻּלָּן:

One who strikes his father and mother and causes a wound, and one who wounds his neighbor on Shabbath is exempt from all (five payments), for he is subject to the death penalty. [For even though he "razes" (by wounding), he "repairs" vis-à-vis his (evil) inclination), his wrath abating and his anger being assuaged thereby.] And one who injures his Canaanite bondsman is exempt from all (five payments).
