قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: وَقَالَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ: " إِنْ كَاتَبَ وَلَا وَلَدَ لَهُ، ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لَهُ مِنْ سُرِّيَّةٍ لَهُ، فَمَاتَ أَبُوهُمْ لَمْ يُوضَعْ عَنْهُمْ شَيْءٌ، وَكَانُوا عَلَى كِتَابَةِ أَبِيهِمْ إِنْ شَاءُوا، وَإِنْ أَحَبُّوا مُحِيَتْ كِتَابَةُ أَبِيهِمْ وَكَانُوا عَبِيدًا لَهُ ". كَذَا قَالُوا، وَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ: إِذَا مَاتَ الْمُكَاتَبُ أَوِ الْمُكَاتَبَةُ قَبْلَ أَدَاءِ مَالِ الْكِتَابَةِ مَاتَا رَقِيقَيْنِ، وَأَوْلَادُهُمَا رَقِيقٌ، اسْتِدْلَالًا بِمَا مَضَى فِي الْمُكَاتَبِ أَنَّهُ " عَبْدٌ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ دِرْهَمٌ ".
Ata' bin Abi Rabah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: If he made a kitabah contract while he had no children, then children were born to him from a slave woman, and the father died, the price will not be reduced for them; they will remain on their father's kitabah, and if they wish, the kitabah may be cancelled and they remain slaves.
Hence we say: When a mukatab or a mukatabah dies without paying the amount, they remain slaves, and their children will also be slaves, with the evidence being the hadith: "If even one dirham remains due from him, he is still a slave."
