وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ: رَجُلٌ تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ ابْنَيْنِ لَهُ، وَتَرَكَ مُكَاتَبًا، فَصَارَ الْمُكَاتَبُ لِأَحَدِهِمَا، ثُمَّ قَضَى كِتَابَتَهُ لِلَّذِي صَارَ لَهُ فِي الْمِيرَاثِ، ثُمَّ مَاتَ الْمُكَاتَبُ، مَنْ يَرِثُهُ؟ قَالَ: " يَرِثَانِهِ جَمِيعًا ". وَقَالَهَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ: " رَجَعَ وَلَاؤُهُ إِلَى الَّذِي كَاتَبَهُ "، فَرَدَدْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَقَالَ ذَلِكَ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: " وَبِقَوْلِ عَطَاءٍ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ نَقُولُ فِي الْمُكَاتَبِ يُكَاتِبُهُ الرَّجُلُ ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ السَّيِّدُ ثُمَّ يُؤَدِّي الْمُكَاتَبُ فَيُعْتَقُ بِالْكِتَابَةِ: إِنَّ وَلَاءَهُ لِلَّذِي عَقَدَ كِتَابَتَهُ ". قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَلَمْ يَقُلْ بِقَوْلِهِ فِي قِسْمَةِ الْمُكَاتَبِ، قَالَ مِنْ قَبْلُ: إِنَّ الْقَسْمَ بَيْعٌ، وَبَيْعُ الْمُكَاتَبِ لَا يَجُوزُ..
Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I said to Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him): A man died, leaving two sons and a mukatab. The mukatab then came into the share of one of them, and he paid his contract to the one who received him in the inheritance. Then the mukatab died; who will inherit from him? He said: Both of them inherit from him; and Amr bin Dinar said the same. Ata' said: His wala' returns to the one who made the contract with him. I put it to him again, and he said that more than once.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We hold the view of Ata' and Amr bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on them both) regarding a mukatab with whom a man makes a contract, then the master dies, then the mukatab pays and is freed by the contract: his wala' belongs to the one who concluded his contract.
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He (al-Shafi'i) did not adopt his view on dividing the mukatab (among the heirs), since he had said earlier: Division is a sale, and the sale of a mukatab is not permissible.
