٢٢٨٥٩ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا أبو الأحوص عن سماك عن قابوس بن (١) المخارق عن أبيه قال: بعث على محمد بن أبي بكر على مصر، فكتب إليه يسأله عن مكاتب مات وترك مالا وولدًا، فكتب يأمر في (المكاتب) (٢) إن (كان) (٣) ترك وفاء لمكاتبته، (يدعى) (٤) مواليه فيستوفون، وما بقي كان ميراثًا لولده (٥).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Mukhariq (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to Egypt. He wrote to him from Egypt asking about a contracted slave (mukatab) who dies leaving wealth and children. He (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to him concerning the contracted slave: "If he dies leaving enough wealth for the manumission payment, his masters are to be called and the manumission payment is to be paid to them in full, and whatever remains will be an inheritance for his children."
٢٢٨٦٠ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن أبي زائدة عن إسماعيل عن الشعبي قال: قلت له: إن شريحًا كان يقضي في المكاتب يموت ويترك مالًا وولدًا: ⦗٩٤⦘ (يؤدّى) (١) عنه لمواليه ما بقي من مكاتبته (و) (٢) ما بقي رده على ولده؟.
Isma'il (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him): "Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) gave this judgment concerning a contracted slave (mukatab) who dies leaving wealth and children: whatever remains of the manumission payment is to be paid to his master, and whatever wealth is left over goes to his children." Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "In this matter Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) judged according to the view of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him)."
٢٢٨٦١ - فقال: إن شريحًا كان يقضي فيها بقضاء عبد اللَّه (١).
He said: "Shurayh used to judge in this matter by the judgment of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him)."
٢٢٨٦٢ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا جرير عن منصور عن إبراهيم قال: إن فضل شيء وإن لمواليه حتى تتم مكاتبته، وإن فضل شيء بعد مكاتبته كان لورثته.
Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If wealth is left over, it goes to the master until the manumission payment is paid in full, and whatever wealth is left over after that goes to the heirs.
٢٢٨٦٣ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع عن سفيان عن منصور عن إبراهيم مثله.
Something similar is reported from Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him).
٢٢٨٦٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا محمد بن يزيد عن أبي العلاء عن قتادة أن عمر بن الخطاب وزيد بن ثابت قالا: إذا مات المكاتب وله مال فهو لمواليه، وليس لولده شيء (١).
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If a contracted slave (mukatab) dies leaving wealth, that wealth goes to the master, and his children receive nothing."
٢٢٨٦٥ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع عن إسماعيل بن أبي خالد عن (١) عبد اللَّه في مكاتب مات وترك مالًا وولدًا أحرارًا، قال: يؤدى ما بقي من مكاتبته، وما بقي فلولده (٢).
Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said concerning a contracted slave (mukatab) who dies leaving wealth and free children: "Whatever remains of the manumission payment is to be paid, and whatever wealth is left over goes to his children."
