حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ كَاتَبَ عَبْدَهُ عَلَى مِائَةِ ، أُوقِيَّةٍ فَأَدَّاهَا إِلَّا عَشْرَ أَوَاقٍ ، أَوْ قَالَ عَشَرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ ، ثُمَّ عَجَزَ فَهُوَ رَقِيقٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ ، أَنَّ الْمُكَاتَبَ عَبْدٌ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهِ ، وَقَدْ رَوَى الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ نَحْوَهُ .
'Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say during a sermon: "Whoever makes a contract of manumission with his slave for one hundred uqiyyah (twelve hundred dirhams), and the slave pays all except ten uqiyyah, then is unable to pay the remainder, he remains a slave."

3- Most of the companions and other scholars act upon this, that as long as any amount of the contract remains unpaid by the slave, he remains a slave.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ There are many legal (shar‘i) matters in which slaves and free people differ; therefore, a person who has not yet attained complete freedom will still be subject to the rulings applicable to slaves.
➋ When a mukatab (contracted slave) completes the payment, he becomes free, and the laws applicable to free individuals will then apply to him.
