Bayhaqi 11005 — Reports on dealing in debt with a slave

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ الرَّفَّاءُ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرٍو عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْفُقَهَاءِ التَّابِعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، قَالَ: كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ " دَيْنُ الْمَمْلُوكِ فِي ذِمَّتِهِ، وَمَا أَصَابَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ سِوَى الدَّيْنِ، مِثْلُ الشَّيْءِ يَخْتَلِسُهُ، أَوِ الْمَالِ يَغْتَصِبُهُ، أَوِ الْبَعِيرُ يَنْحَرُهُ، فَذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْجُرْحِ يَجْرَحُهُ، إِمَّا أَنْ يَفْدِيَهُ سَيِّدُهُ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ عَبْدَهُ ".
Abdur Rahman bin Abi al-Zinad (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that the jurists of the Successors in Madinah used to say: The debt of a slave is his own liability; and whatever he takes of people's wealth other than debt, for example if he snatches something from someone, or seizes property by force, or slaughters someone's camel, all of that is like a wound that he inflicts: either his master pays compensation for it or he hands over his slave.
