عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ عُهْدَةُ الرَّقِيقِ أَرْبَعُ لَيَالٍ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَأَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ يَقُولُونَ ثَلَاثُ لَيَالٍ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The responsibility of a slave is for four nights. Whereas Qatadah says: According to the people of Madinah, it is three nights.
