Bayhaqi 21620 — One who did not dislike granting a contract

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْعِرَاقِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْفَرَّاءِ، حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَرْوَانَ الْحَارِثِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ التَّيَّاحِ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُكَاتِبَ، فَقَالَ: " أَعِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ؟ "، قَالَ: لَا، قَالَ: فَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ: " أَعِينُوا أَخَاكُمْ "، فَجَمَعُوا لَهُ، قَالَ: فَبَقِيَ بَقِيَّةٌ عَنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ قَالَ: فَأَتَى عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْفَضْلَةِ، فَقَالَ: " اجْعَلْهَا فِي الْمُكَاتَبِينَ ". هَذَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمُكَاتَبَ إِنَّمَا يُعْطَى مِنَ الصَّدَقَاتِ مِنْ سَهْمِ الرِّقَابِ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَعْتِقَ..
Ibn al-Tayyah came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I want to make a contract of manumission (mukatabah). He asked: Do you have anything? He said: No. So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered the people and said: Help your brother. So they collected wealth for him. He says: Something was left over beyond (what was due on) his contract, so he came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about the surplus. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Put it towards (other) mukatabs. This indicates that the mukatab is given from the sadaqat, from the share for (freeing) slaves, only what stands between him and his freedom.
