Hadith 65
۞
Hadith.3485 - Ali ibn al-Nu'man narrated from Abu al-Sabbah, from Abu Abdullah (as), regarding a mukatab (a slave under a contract of emancipation) who pays half of his contract and still owes the remaining half. Then he offers his masters the remaining amount as a lump sum payment.
Imam (as) said
"They may take the remaining amount, and he becomes free."
And regarding a mukatab who pays part of his contract, then dies, leaving behind a son and wealth greater than the amount owed for his contract:
Imam (as) said: "The masters are paid the remaining balance of the contract, and whatever remains belongs to his son."
3485 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلنُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي اَلصَّبَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي اَلْمُكَاتَبِ يُؤَدِّي نِصْفَ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ وَ يَبْقَى عَلَيْهِ اَلنِّصْفُ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو مَوَالِيَهُ إِلَى بَقِيَّةِ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ خُذُوا مَا بَقِيَ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً قَالَ
"يَأْخُذُونَ مَا بَقِيَ ثُمَّ يُعْتَقُ" وَ قَالَ فِي اَلْمُكَاتَبِ يُؤَدِّي بَعْضَ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ وَ يَتْرُكُ اِبْناً وَ يَتْرُكُ مَالاً أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ قَالَ "يُوَفَّى مَوَالِيَهُ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِوَلَدِهِ".
