سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَاتَبَ عَبْداً لَهُ عَلَى أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ لَمْ يَشْتَرِطْ عَلَيْهِ حِينَ كَاتَبَهُ إِنْ هُوَ عَجَزَ عَنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ فِي الرِّقِّ وَ إِنَّ الْمُكَاتَبَ أَدَّى إِلَى مَوْلَاهُ خَمْسَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ مَاتَ الْمُكَاتَبُ وَ تَرَكَ مَالًا وَ تَرَكَ ابْناً لَهُ مُدْرِكاً فَقَالَ نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ الْمُكَاتَبُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّهُ لِمَوْلَاهُ الَّذِي كَاتَبَهُ وَ النِّصْفُ الْبَاقِي لِابْنِ الْمُكَاتَبِ لِأَنَّ الْمُكَاتَبَ مَاتَ وَ نِصْفُهُ حُرٌّ وَ نِصْفُهُ عَبْدٌ لِلَّذِي كَاتَبَهُ فَابْنُ الْمُكَاتَبِ كَهَيْئَةِ أَبِيهِ نِصْفُهُ حُرٌّ وَ نِصْفُهُ عَبْدٌ فَإِنْ أَدَّى إِلَى الَّذِي كَاتَبَ أَبَاهُ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَى أَبِيهِ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ لَا سَبِيلَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ.

Ibn Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yazeed, from Bureyd Al Ajaly who said, ‘I asked him asws about a man who contracted a slave of his upon a thousand Dirhams, and did not stipulate upon him when he contracted him that if he was frustrated from (paying off) his contract, so he would be returned into the slavery, and that the contracted slave had paid five hundred Dirhams to his master. Then the contracted slave died and left wealth, and left a son of his, adult. So he asws said: ‘Half of what the contracted slave left from something, so it is for his master who had contracted him, and the remaining half is for the son of the contracted slave, because the contracted slave died and half of him was free and half of him was with the one who had contracted him. So the son of the contracted slave is like his father, half of him is free and half of him is a slave. So if he pays off to the one who had contracted his father, whatever was remaining upon his father, so he is free. There would be no way for anyone from the people over him’.
