Bayhaqi 21636 — The mukatab remains a slave as long as a single dirham
قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: يُرْوَى أَنَّ مَنْ كَاتَبَ عَبْدَهُ عَلَى مِائَةِ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَأَدَّاهَا إِلَّا عَشْرَ أَوَاقٍ فَهُوَ رَقِيقٌ..
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It is narrated that whoever makes a contract of manumission (mukatabah) with his slave for one hundred uqiyahs, and he (the slave) pays all of it except ten uqiyahs, he is (still) a slave."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا عَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا هَمَّامٌ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ الْجَزَرِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ مَيْمُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ، بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْكِلَابِيُّ، ثنا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ عَبَّاسٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ قَالَ: ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَيُّمَا مُكَاتَبٍ كُوتِبَ عَلَى أَلْفِ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَأَدَّاهَا إِلَّا عَشْرَ أَوَاقٍ فَهُوَ عَبْدٌ، وَأَيُّمَا مُكَاتَبٍ كُوتِبَ عَلَى مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ فَأَدَّاهَا إِلَّا عَشَرَةَ دَنَانِيرَ، فَهُوَ عَبْدٌ ". لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ: " أَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ كَاتَبَ عَلَى مِائَةِ دِينَارٍ فَأَدَّاهَا إِلَّا عَشْرَ دَنَانِيرَ فَهُوَ عَبْدٌ، وَأَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ كَاتَبَ عَلَى مِائَةِ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَأَدَّاهَا إِلَّا عَشْرَ أَوَاقٍ فَهُوَ عَبْدٌ ". وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، عَنْ عَبَّاسٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ..
Amr bin Shu'ayb narrates from his father, from his grandfather (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr, may Allah be pleased with them both), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has been given a contract of manumission (mukatabah) for one thousand uqiyahs and pays all of it except ten uqiyahs, he is still a slave; and whoever has been given a contract for one hundred dinars and pays all of it, but ten dinars remain, he is still a slave."
(b) In the narration of Amr bin Asim and Abu al-Walid it is: "The slave who has been given a contract for one hundred dinars and pays all of it, with only ten dinars remaining due from him, will remain a slave; and the slave who has been given a contract for one hundred uqiyahs, with only ten uqiyahs remaining, will remain a slave."
(b) In the narration of Amr bin Asim and Abu al-Walid it is: "The slave who has been given a contract for one hundred dinars and pays all of it, with only ten dinars remaining due from him, will remain a slave; and the slave who has been given a contract for one hundred uqiyahs, with only ten uqiyahs remaining, will remain a slave."
