٢٤٠٨٣ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن مبارك عن ابن جريج قال: أخبرني ابن أبي مليكة أن امرأة كوتبت، فولدت ولدين في مكاتبتها، ثم ماتت، فسئل عن ذلك ⦗٤١٤⦘ عبد اللَّه بن الزبير فقال: إن (أقاما) (١) بكتابة (أمهما) (٢) فذلك (لهما) (٣)، فإذا أديا عتقا (٤).
It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaykah that a woman (a slave woman) was given a contract of manumission. She then gave birth to two children while under the contract, and then she died. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about this. He said: If her children wish to continue on their mother's contract, they are permitted to do so; when they pay it off, they will be free.
٢٤٠٨٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا (هشيم) (١) عن مغيرة عن إبراهيم قال: ولد المكاتبة بمنزلتها، يعتقون بعتقها ويرقون برقها، (فإن) (٢) ماتت (سعوا) (٣) فيما بقي من مكاتبتها، فإن أدوا عتقوا، وإن عجزوا (ردوا) (٤).
Ibrahim said: The children of a mukatabah (a slave woman under a contract of manumission) have her status: they become free when she becomes free and remain slaves while she remains a slave. If their mother dies, they will strive to pay off what remains of the contract payment; if they pay it they will be free, and if they cannot pay it they will remain slaves.
٢٤٠٨٥ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا حفص عن جعفر عن أبيه عن علي قال: (ولده بمنزلته) (١) في السعي -يعني (المكاتب) (٢) (٣).
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The children of a mukatab (a slave under a contract of manumission) are like him in striving to pay off the contract payment.
