بَابُ الْقَضَاءِ فِي الْمُكَاتَبِChapter on legal rulings regarding the mukatab (contracted slave)
Hadith 1295
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْمَكِّيِّ، أَنّ مُكَاتَبًا كَانَ لِابْنِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، هَلَكَ بِمَكَّةَ وَتَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ بَقِيَّةً مِنْ كِتَابَتِهِ وَدُيُونًا لِلنَّاسِ وَتَرَكَ ابْنَتَهُ، فَأَشْكَلَ عَلَى عَامِلِ مَكَّةَ الْقَضَاءُ فِيهِ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ: " أَنْ ابْدَأْ بِدُيُونِ النَّاسِ، ثُمَّ اقْضِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهِ، ثُمَّ اقْسِمْ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ مَالِهِ بَيْنَ ابْنَتِهِ وَمَوْلَاهُ " .¤
It is narrated from Humaid bin Qais Makki that a mukatab, Ibn Mutawakkil, died in Makkah, and some of the price of his manumission was still due, and he also owed debts to people, and he left behind a daughter. The governor of Makkah found it difficult to decide in this matter, so he wrote to Abdul Malik bin Marwan. Abdul Malik replied: First pay off the debts owed to people, then pay whatever remains of the price of manumission, and after that, whatever is left should be divided between his daughter and his mawla.
