كتاب المكاتبBook: On the Explanation of Mukatib (Contracted Slave)
بَابُ سَعْيِ الْمُكَاتَبِEfforts of the Mukatab (contracted slave)
Hadith 1297B2
قَالَ مَالِكٌ فِي الْمُكَاتَبِ يَمُوتُ وَيَتْرُكُ مَالًا لَيْسَ فِيهِ وَفَاءُ الْكِتَابَةِ. وَيَتْرُكُ وَلَدًا مَعَهُ فِي كِتَابَتِهِ وَأُمَّ وَلَدٍ. فَأَرَادَتْ أُمُّ وَلَدِهِ أَنْ تَسْعَى عَلَيْهِمْ : إِنَّهُ يُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهَا الْمَالُ إِذَا كَانَتْ مَأْمُونَةً عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَوِيَّةً عَلَى السَّعْيِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ قَوِيَّةً عَلَى السَّعْيِ. وَلَا مَأْمُونَةً عَلَى الْمَالِ لَمْ تُعْطَ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ. وَرَجَعَتْ هِيَ وَوَلَدُ الْمُكَاتَبِ رَقِيقًا لِسَيِّدِ الْمُكَاتَبِ.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a mukatab dies and leaves behind wealth that is not sufficient to cover the price of his manumission, and he leaves behind his children and an umm walad who was included in the contract of manumission, then if the umm walad wishes to take that wealth and work hard along with the children to earn their freedom, if the umm walad is trustworthy and capable of bearing the hardship of labor, then the wealth should be handed over to her. Otherwise, the master will take the wealth, and the umm walad and the children of the mukatab will become slaves of the master.
