المكاتب يجيء بمكاتبته جميعا
A mukatab slave who brings all his contract payments at once
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 24013 — A mukatab slave who brings all
٢٤٠١٣ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن أبي زائدة عن ابن عون عن محمد قال: أراد مكاتب أن يعطي مولاه المال (كله) (١)، فقال: لا آخذه إلا نجوما، (فكتب) (٢) له عثمان عتقه، فأخذ المال (و) (٣) قال: أنا أعطيكه نجوما، فلما رأى ذلك الرجل أخذ المال (٤).
It is narrated from Muhammad (Ibn Sirin) that a mukatab slave wanted to pay his entire contract sum at once, but his master said: "I will only take it in instalments (little by little)." Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered the slave's emancipation, took the money from him and kept it, and said: "I will keep paying it out little by little." When the master saw this situation, he took the whole of the money at once.
