أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ - يَعْنِي: لِعَطَاءٍ: أَفْلَسَ مُكَاتَبِي وَتَرَكَ مَالًا، وَتَرَكَ دَيْنًا لِلنَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ لَمْ يَدَعْ لَهُ وَفَاءً، أَبْدَأُ بِالْحَقِّ لِلنَّاسِ قَبْلَ كِتَابَتِي؟ قَالَ: " نَعَمْ "، وَقَالَهَا لِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ: أَمَا أُحَاصُّهُمْ بِنَجْمٍ مِنْ نُجُومِهِ حَلَّ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَلَكَ عَمَلَهُ فِي سَنَتِهِ؟ قَالَ: " لَا ". قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَبِهَذَا نَأْخُذُ، فَإِذَا مَاتَ الْمُكَاتَبُ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ بُدِئَ بِدُيُونِ النَّاسِ، لِأَنَّهُ مَاتَ رَقِيقًا، وَبَطَلَتِ الْكِتَابَةُ، وَلَا دَيْنَ لِلسَّيِّدِ عَلَيْهِ، وَمَا بَقِيَ مَالٌ لِلسَّيِّدِ ".
Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I said to Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him): "My mukatab has become bankrupt; he has wealth, and he also owes debts to people. Should I pay the people's debts before my kitabah?" He said: "Yes." Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) said to Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him): "Should I not take a share alongside them for an instalment that had fallen due on him, since I had owned his earnings for his year?" He said: "No."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This is what we follow. If the mukatab dies, pay off the people's debts first, because he died a slave, the kitabah becomes void, and the master has no debt owed to him by the slave; the remaining wealth belongs to the master.
