Bayhaqi 21719 — The mukatab granting a contract of manumission

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا حِبَّانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ: كَانَ لِلْمُكَاتَبِ عَبْدٌ فَكَاتَبَهُ ثُمَّ مَاتَ، لِمَنْ مِيرَاثُهُ؟ قَالَ: " كَانَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ يَقُولُونَ: هُوَ لِلَّذِي كَاتَبَهُ يَسْتَعِينُ بِهِ فِي كِتَابَتِهِ ".
Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him): A mukatab had a slave, and he made a contract of manumission with him. Then he died; to whom does his inheritance go? He said: Those before (you) used to say: It belongs to the one who made the contract with him, who uses it to help pay his own contract.
