اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَزَّازُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِذَا أَصَابَ الْمُكَاتَبُ حَدًّا ، أَوْ مِيرَاثًا وَرِثَ بِحِسَابِ مَا عَتَقَ مِنْهُ " ، وقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يُؤَدِّي الْمُكَاتَبُ بِحِصَّةِ مَا أَدَّى دِيَةَ حُرٍّ وَمَا بَقِيَ دِيَةَ عَبْدٍ " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ . وَهَكَذَا رَوَى يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . وَرَوَى خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَوْلَهُ ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ ، وقَالَ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ ، الْمُكَاتَبُ عَبْدٌ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ دِرْهَمٌ ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ : سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ ، وَالشَّافِعِيِّ ، وَأَحْمَدَ ، وَإِسْحَاق .
Narrated from Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a mukatab slave becomes entitled to blood money or inheritance, he will receive a share according to the extent to which he has been freed." He also said: "The mukatab will be given blood money in proportion to the amount of the contract price he has paid, and for the remainder, he will be given the blood money of a slave." © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- The hadith of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) is Hasan (good).
2- Similarly, Yahya bin Abi Kathir narrated from Ikrimah, and Ikrimah from Ibn Abbas, and Ibn Abbas from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
3- In this chapter, there is also a narration from Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her).
4- However, Khalid al-Hadha also narrated from Ikrimah (but according to him), Ikrimah narrated from the statement of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
5- Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions and others act upon this hadith. And most of the people of knowledge among the Companions and others say that as long as even one dirham remains upon the mukatab, he is a slave. This is also the saying of Sufyan Thawri, Shafi'i, Ahmad, and Ishaq bin Rahwayh.

(1) The researcher of the book has declared the chain of narration of this hadith to be weak, but this narration and the subsequent narrations: 4813 and 4814 are also authentic due to supporting and corroborating reports. For the corroboration and supporting evidence of this narration, see hadith: 4815, 4816.
(2) From this hadith, it is understood that a mukatab (a slave who has a contract for his freedom) will be considered free to the extent of the amount he has paid towards his contract, and the remainder will be considered a slave. For example, if a slave has paid half of the agreed amount, he will be half free and half slave. In this state, if he is killed, the blood money (diyah) for the free portion will be fifty camels, and for the remaining slave portion, the blood money will be given as for a slave, i.e., twenty-five camels.

Footnote in English:
By "mukatab" is meant a slave who has entered into a contract with his master to purchase his freedom in exchange for a certain sum of money. This contract is called "mukatabah" or "kitabah," and the specified amount is referred to as "maal al-mukatabah." The details have already been discussed previously.
