Mesorat%20hashas for Makkot 16:14

רבא אמר פרט לעושה חבורה באביו בשוגג ס"ד אמינא כיון דבמזיד בר קטלא הוא בשוגג נמי ליגלי קמ"ל:

Rava says:... [This case of non-exile for a son] is when he just hits [wounds] his father inadvertently. Since, you may have thought that if he would have killed him intentionally, he would be executed, then let him also be so in a case of inadvertent striking, this comes to teach us [that no, in fact, exile is specifically in cases of inadvertent killing and not striking/wounding].
