Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Shurayh says regarding a person who sells a slave upon whom there is a debt: He said, his debt is the responsibility of the master. It should not exceed his price, and if such a slave is sold who possesses wealth, then his wealth will belong to the buyer.

Ibrahim says that when someone sells a slave who is in debt and also possesses wealth, then his wealth belongs to the buyer, and his debt remains upon the seller.

Hazrat Shurayh says that if someone sells a slave who is in debt, he said: His debt is upon the one who sold him and consumed his price.

Hazrat Ibn Sirin narrates that a slave was brought to Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Azinah who was in debt. He said: His debt will be paid from his property.
