Hadith 1306B6
. قَالَ مَالِكٌ : الْأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا فِيمَنِ ابْتَاعَ رَقِيقًا فِي صَفْقَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، فَوَجَدَ فِي ذَلِكَ الرَّقِيقِ عَبْدًا مَسْرُوقًا، أَوْ وَجَدَ بِعَبْدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَيْبًا، إِنَّهُ يُنْظَرُ فِيمَا وُجِدَ مَسْرُوقًا، أَوْ وَجَدَ بِهِ عَيْبًا، فَإِنْ كَانَ هُوَ وَجْهَ ذَلِكَ الرَّقِيقِ، أَوْ أَكْثَرَهُ ثَمَنًا، أَوْ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ اشْتَرَى، وَهُوَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْفَضْلُ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّاسُ، كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْعُ مَرْدُودًا كُلُّهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الَّذِي وُجِدَ مَسْرُوقًا، أَوْ وُجِدَ بِهِ الْعَيْبُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّقِيقِ فِي الشَّيْءِ الْيَسِيرِ مِنْهُ، لَيْسَ هُوَ وَجْهَ ذَلِكَ الرَّقِيقِ، وَلَا مِنْ أَجْلِهِ اشْتُرِيَ، وَلَا فِيهِ الْفَضْلُ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّاسُ رُدَّ ذَلِكَ الَّذِي وُجِدَ بِهِ الْعَيْبُ، أَوْ وُجِدَ مَسْرُوقًا بِعَيْنِهِ، بِقَدْرِ قِيمَتِهِ مِنَ الثَّمَنِ الَّذِي اشْتَرَى بِهِ أُولَئِكَ الرَّقِيقَ
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that if a person buys a slave and makes him work for wages, whether the wages earned are little or much, and afterwards a defect is found in the slave due to which he can return the slave, then he may return the slave and keep the wages; it is not necessary to return them. According to us, this is the view of the group of scholars. Its example is that if a person buys a slave and has a house built by him, the construction cost of which is double or triple the price of the slave, and then returns the slave due to a defect, then the slave will be returned and the seller will not have the right to take the construction wages from the buyer. Similarly, the earnings of the slave will remain with the buyer.
