أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ: " كَاتَبْتُ عَلَى رَجُلَيْنِ فِي بَيْعٍ أَنَّ حَيَّكُمَا عَلَى مَيِّتِكُمَا، وَمَلِيَّكُمَا عَلَى مُعْدِمِكُمَا "، قَالَ: يَجُوزُ،. وَقَالَهَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، وَقَالَ زَعَامَةُ: - يَعْنِي: حَمَالَةً.
Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I said to Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him): I made a contract of manumission (mukatabah) with two men in a sale on the condition: "The living one of you is responsible for the dead one of you, and the wealthy one of you for the destitute one of you." He said: This is permissible. This is also the view of Amr bin Dinar (may Allah have mercy on him) and Sulayman bin Musa (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: It is za'amah, meaning hamalah (suretyship).
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ، أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ: " كَاتَبْتُ عَبْدَيْنِ لِي، وَكَتَبْتُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمَا "، قَالَ: لَا يَجُوزُ فِي عَبْدَيْكَ. وَقَالَهَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: فَقُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ: لِمَ لَا يَجُوزُ؟ قَالَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمَا إِنْ أَفْلَسَ رَجَعَ عَبْدًا لَمْ يَمْلِكْ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا..
Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I said to Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him): I made a contract of manumission (mukatabah) with two slaves of mine and wrote that (each is liable for the other) upon them. He said: It is not permissible with your two slaves. Sulayman bin Musa also said the same. Ibn Jurayj says: I said to Ata': Why is it not permissible? He said: Because if one of them becomes bankrupt, he returns to being a slave who owns nothing of yours.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا حِبَّانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَعَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، فِي رَجُلٍ يُكَاتِبُ عَبْدَيْنِ جَمِيعًا: حَيُّكُمَا عَلَى مَيِّتِكُمَا، وَمُعْدِمُكُمَا عَلَى مَلِيكُمَا؟ قَالَا: " لَا يَجُوزُ ".
Qatadah and Ata' (may Allah have mercy on them both) say regarding a man who makes a contract of manumission (mukatabah) with two slaves together on the condition that the living one of you is responsible for the dead one of you, and the destitute one of you is the responsibility of the wealthy one of you: They both said: This is not permissible.
