Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22377 — A slave shared by two men, one

Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) said concerning a slave who is jointly owned by three men, one of whom then makes him a mukatab (a slave contracted to buy his freedom): whatever that man collects from the mukatab slave is to be taken from him, and that wealth is to be divided among all three partners. The slave remains the property of all three, and making him a mukatab is not valid.
