سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ فِي الْمُكَاتَبِ كَانَ النَّاسُ مُدَّةً لَا يَشْتَرِطُونَ إِنْ عَجَزَ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ فِي الرِّقِ فَهُمُ الْيَوْمَ يَشْتَرِطُونَ وَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ عِنْدَ شُرُوطِهِمْ وَ يُجْلَدُ فِي الْحَدِّ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا أُعْتِقَ مِنْهُ قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ أُعْتِقَ نِصْفُهُ أَ تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُ فِي الطَّلَاقِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ رَجُلٌ وَ امْرَأَةٌ جَازَتْ شَهَادَتُهُ.

Hadith.3301 - And it was narrated by Hammad from Al-Halabi, who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (as), say: "Regarding a mukatab (a slave under a contract of emancipation), there was a time when people did not stipulate that if he failed to fulfill the terms of his contract, he would revert to slavery. But today, they stipulate this condition, and Muslims are bound by their conditions. If a mukatab commits an offense requiring a legal punishment (hudud), he is punished in proportion to the extent to which he has been freed." I asked: "What if half of him has been freed? Does his testimony in matters of divorce count?" Imam (as) said: "If he testifies alongside a man and a woman, his testimony is accepted."
