في المكاتب يموت ويترك دينا وبقية من مكاتبتهIf a Mukatab Dies Owing Both Mukatabah Payments and Debt
Hadith 22771
٢٢٧٧١ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا جرير عن منصور عن إبراهيم قال: إذا مات المكاتب وعليه دين يضرب مواليه بما حل من نجومه (مع الغرماء) (١)، وإن لم يكن له نجم حال (بدئ بالغرماء) (٢) فأخذوا دينهم، فإن فضل شيء كان لمواليه حتى تتم مكاتبته، فإن فضل شيء بعد مكاتبته كان لورثته.
Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said that if a mukatab slave dies while he is in debt, then his master will be placed alongside the creditors. Whatever of the installments is due will be given first, and if no installment is immediately due, then the creditors will be given precedence, so they will recover their debt. If anything remains after that, it will go to the masters until the price of manumission is completed, and if anything remains even after the price of manumission has been paid, then it will go to his heirs.
