موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب العتق والولاءBook: On the Explanation of Emancipation and Allegiance
بَابُ مِيرَاثِ السَّائِبَةِ وَوَلَاءِ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ الْيَهُودِيَّ وَالنَّصْرَانِيَّChapter on Inheritance of a Freed Slave and Loyalty of One Who Freed a Jew or Christian
Hadith 1292
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ عَنِ السَّائِبَةِ، قَالَ : " يُوَالِي مَنْ شَاءَ، فَإِنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يُوَالِي أَحَدًا، فَمِيرَاثُهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَقْلُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ " .
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) asked Ibn Shihab about the ruling of a Saibah. He said: A Saibah may contract wala' (alliance) with whomever he wishes. If he dies and does not contract wala' with anyone, his inheritance will go to the Muslims. If they (the Saibah) commit a crime, then the Muslims will pay the blood money.
