Hadith 1098
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ [ ص: 23 ] مُجَاهِدٍ: أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ فِي الْمُكَاتَبِ: هُوَ عَبْدٌ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ دِرْهَمٌ.
It is narrated from Mujahid that Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said regarding a mukatab slave: "As long as even one dirham (of payment) remains upon him, he is still a slave."
Hadith 1099
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ: أَنَّ نَافِعًا أَخْبَرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَاتَبَ غُلَامًا لَهُ عَلَى ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفًا، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي قَدْ عَجَزْتُ. فَقَالَ: إِذَنْ أَمْحُو كِتَابَتَكَ. فَقَالَ: قَدْ عَجَزْتُ فَامْحُهَا أَنْتَ. قَالَ نَافِعٌ: فَأَشَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ: امْحُهَا وَهُوَ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ يُعْتِقَهُ، فَمَحَاهَا الْعَبْدُ وَلَهُ ابْنَانِ أَوِ ابْنٌ، قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ: اعْتَزِلْ جَارِيَتِي، قَالَ: فَأَعْتَقَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ابْنَهُ بَعْدُ. أَخْرَجَ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْمُكَاتَبِ، وَهُمَا مَا فِيهِ.
It is narrated from Ismail bin Umayyah that Nafi’ informed him that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) made a contract of manumission (mukataba) with his slave for thirty thousand. Then that slave came to him and said, “I am unable (to pay the amount).” Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, “Then erase your contract of manumission.” He said, “I am helpless, you erase it yourself.” Nafi’ said, “I signaled to that slave to erase it because (Ibn Umar) wanted to set him free.” That slave erased the contract; he had one or two sons. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, “Separate from my slave-girl.” Nafi’ said: Later, Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) also set his son free.
