۞
Hadith.5744 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr Al-Bazanti narrated that Muhammad ibn Samaah reported from Abd Al-Hamid ibn Awad from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) who said regarding a mukatab (a slave under a contract for freedom) who had entered into a contract, paid part of it, and then died, leaving behind a son and wealth greater than what remained of his owed payment.
Imam (as) said
"His masters should be paid the remaining amount of his contract, and whatever remains after that belongs to his son."
5744 - وَ رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ اَلْبَزَنْطِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْحَمِيدِ بْنِ عَوَّاضٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
فِي اَلْمُكَاتَبِ يُكَاتَبُ فَيُؤَدِّي بَعْضَ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ وَ يَتْرُكُ اِبْناً وَ يَتْرُكُ مَالاً أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اَلْمُكَاتَبَةِ قَالَ "يُوفَى مَوَالِيهِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِوَلَدِهِ".
