Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب المكاتبBook: On the Explanation of Mukatib (Contracted Slave)
بَابُ وَلَاءِ الْمُكَاتَبِ إِذَا أَعْتَقَWala' of the Mukatab if he is freed
Hadith 1300Q5
قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَكَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا لَوْ كَاتَبَ الْمُكَاتَبُ عَبْدًا فَعَتَقَ الْمُكَاتَبُ الْآخَرُ قَبْلَ سَيِّدِهِ الَّذِي كَاتَبَهُ فَإِنَّ وَلَاءَهُ لِسَيِّدِ الْمُكَاتَبِ مَا لَمْ يَعْتِقِ الْمُكَاتَبُ الْأَوَّلُ الَّذِي كَاتَبَهُ. فَإِنْ عَتَقَ الَّذِي كَاتَبَهُ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ وَلَاءُ مُكَاتَبِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَتَقَ قَبْلَهُ. وَإِنْ مَاتَ الْمُكَاتَبُ الْأَوَّلُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤَدِّيَ أَوْ عَجَزَ عَنْ كِتَابَتِهِ وَلَهُ وَلَدٌ أَحْرَارٌ لَمْ يَرِثُوا وَلَاءَ مُكَاتَبِ أَبِيهِمْ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَثْبُتْ لِأَبِيهِمُ الْوَلَاءُ. وَلَا يَكُونُ لَهُ الْوَلَاءُ حَتَّى يَعْتِقَ. ¤
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a mukatab (contracted slave) is jointly owned by two men, and then one of them waives his right but the other does not, and then the mukatab dies and leaves wealth, then the one who did not waive his right will take his due, and whatever wealth remains will be divided between both of them as if he had died in the state of slavery, because the one who waived his right did not set him free, rather he only forgave his own right.
