Bayhaqi 21633 — Slaves standing surety for one another

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ: " كَاتَبْتُ عَلَى رَجُلَيْنِ فِي بَيْعٍ أَنَّ حَيَّكُمَا عَلَى مَيِّتِكُمَا، وَمَلِيَّكُمَا عَلَى مُعْدِمِكُمَا "، قَالَ: يَجُوزُ،. وَقَالَهَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، وَقَالَ زَعَامَةُ: - يَعْنِي: حَمَالَةً.
Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I said to Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him): I made a contract of manumission (mukatabah) with two men in a sale on the condition: "The living one of you is responsible for the dead one of you, and the wealthy one of you for the destitute one of you." He said: This is permissible. This is also the view of Amr bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him) and Sulayman bin Musa (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: It is za'amah, meaning hamalah (suretyship).
