68. Emancipation
٦٨۔ كِتَابُ الْعِتْقِ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying while on the pulpit: "The Banu Hashim ibn Al-Mughirah sought permission from me to marry their daughter to Ali ibn Abi Talib, but I did not grant permission. Then again, they sought permission, but I did not grant permission. My daughter is a part of me; I feel uneasy about what disturbs her and it hurts me for what hurts her." Qutaybah narrated in Sahih that Al-Laith reported that they discussed it and concluded that if a slave owns himself by paying off his debt or by buying his freedom, he will set free some of himself. Similarly, when a free man owns his child, he will therefore own part of himself. If a father owns his child, he would own a part of him. Therefore, it becomes obligatory for him to set his child free.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ إِنَّ بَنِي هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ اسْتَأْذَنُونِي فِي أَنْ يُنْكِحُوا ابْنَتَهُمْ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَلَا آذَنُ ثُمَّ لَا آذَنُ وَإِنَّمَا ابْنَتِي بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي يَرِيبُنِي مَا رَابَهَا وَيُؤْذِينِي مَا آذَاهَا أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ فَأَخْبَرَ أَنَّ وَلَدَهُ بَعْضٌ مِنْهُ وَالْعَبْدُ إِذَا مَلَكَ نَفْسَهُ بِأَدَاءِ مَالِ الْكِتَابَةِ أَوْ بِابْتِيَاعِ نَفْسِهِ عَتَقَ فَكَذَلِكَ الْحُرُّ إِذَا مَلَكَ وَلَدَهُ فَقَدْ مَلَكَ بَعْضَهُ وَإِذَا مَلَكَ وَالِدَهُ فَقَدْ مَلَكَ مَنْ هُوَ بَعْضٌ مِنْهُ فَوَجَبَ أَنْ يَعْتِقَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A child cannot repay his parent unless he finds them as slaves, buys them, and then sets them free."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَجْزِي وَلَدٌ وَالِدَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَجِدَهُ مَمْلُوكًا فَيَشْتَرِيَهُ فَيُعْتِقَهُ
[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet, ﷺ , he said: "Whoever possesses a forbidden relationship (such as a non-Muslim woman in marriage) from within his relatives, then he is free (to marry her)." 21416 Abu Ali Al-Husayn Ibn Muhammad Al-Rudhbariy informed us, Abu Bakr Muhammad Ibn Bakr reported to us, Abu Dawood reported to us, Muslim Ibn Ibrahim and Musa Ibn Isma'il said: Hammad Ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Al-Hasan, from Samurah, from the Prophet, ﷺ , he said: "Musa, in another place, reported from Samurah, what Hammad understands Hammad said: The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Whoever possesses a forbidden relationship (such as a non-Muslim woman in marriage) from within his relatives, then he is free (to marry her)." Abu Dawood said: Only Hammad Ibn Salamah narrated this Hadith, and he had doubt in it. Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: Abu Isa Al-Tirmidhi, as far as I have heard from him, I asked Al-Bukhari about this Hadith, and he did not know it from Al-Hasan, from Samurah, except from the Hadith of Hammad Ibn Salamah. The Sheikh (Ahmad Ibn Hanbal) said: May Allah have mercy on him, Hammad doubted the mention of Samurah in its chain of narration, as we have mentioned it from Musa Ibn Isma'il, and other than Hammad narrates it from Qatadah, from Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, and from Qatadah, from Al-Hasan, from his saying.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ مَلَكَ ذَا مَحْرَمٍ مِنْ ذِي رَحِمٍ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ 21416 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَا ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مُوسَى فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ فِيمَا يَحْسِبُ حَمَّادٌ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ مَلَكَ ذَا رَحِمٍ مَحْرَمٍ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَقَدْ شَكَّ فِيهِ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ وَقَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى التِّرْمِذِيُّ فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي عَنْهُ سَأَلْتُ الْبُخَارِيَّ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَحَمَّادٌ يَشُكُّ فِي ذِكْرِ سَمُرَةَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ كَمَا قَدَّمْنَا ذِكْرَهُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَغَيْرُ حَمَّادٍ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ وَعَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ
[Machine] Ahmed was mentioned in another chain of narration, and they were uncertain about the reliability of the narrator in it.
أَحْمَدُ وَرُوِيَ بِإِسْنَادٍ آخَرَ وَهِمَ فِيهِ رَاوِيهِ
[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Whoever possesses a kinship through marriage that is forbidden, then he is a captive." Sulaiman said: "I have not heard this narration from Sufyan except as a doubt." The Sheikh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This Hadith is preserved with this chain of narration, and it is a Hadith of prohibition regarding the sale of loyalty and its gifting."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ مَلَكَ ذَا رَحِمٍ مَحْرَمٍ فَهُوَ عَتِيقٌ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ إِلَّا ضَمْرَةُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ الْمَحْفُوظُ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ حَدِيثُ نَهْيٍ عَنْ بَيْعِ الْوَلَاءِ وَعَنْ هِبَتِهِ وَقَدْ
[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, I want to free this brother of mine." He said, "Indeed, Allah has already freed him when you possessed him." Ali al-Daraqutni, may Allah have mercy on him, said that Ibn al-Mubarak left him, as well as Yahya al-Qattan and Ibn Mahdi. He said, "Abu al-Nadr is Muhammad ibn al-Sa'ib al-Kalbi, who is abandoned. He is also the one who said, 'Everything I narrated from Abu Salih is false.'" The sheikh said, and it is narrated from Hafs ibn Abu Dawud from Muhammad ibn Abi Layla from Ata' from Ibn Abbas in a similar manner. And this chain of narration is weak, and Hafs is the son of Sulaiman al-Qari, weakened by Shu'bah, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Yahya ibn Ma'in, and others.
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُعْتِقَ أَخِي هَذَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ أَعْتَقَهُ حِينَ مَلَكْتَهُ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ الدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ الْعَرْزَمِيُّ تَرَكَهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَيَحْيَى الْقَطَّانُ وَابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ وَأَبُو النَّضْرِ هُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ الْكَلْبِيُّ مَتْرُوكٌ وَأَيْضًا هُوَ الْقَائِلُ كُلُّ مَا حَدَّثْتُ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ كَذِبٌ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ بِنَحْوِهِ وَهَذَا إِسْنَادٌ ضَعِيفٌ وَحَفْصٌ هُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْقَارِيُّ ضَعَّفَهُ شُعْبَةُ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَغَيْرُهُمْ
Qatadah reported Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) as saying: If anyone gets possession of a relative who is within the prohibited degrees, that person becomes free. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3950)
قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ مَنْ مَلَكَ ذَا رَحِمٍ مَحْرَمٍ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ
[Machine] Whoever has control over a forbidden property, then they are free or they possess a forbidden property; this is the opinion of Dahhak. Abu Musa said, "I heard Abu al-Walid say, 'I read in the book of Abi 'Awanah, narrated from al-Hakam, from Ibrahim, from al-Aswad, from Umar, who said, 'The one who has control over a forbidden property should not cover it up.'"
مَنْ مَلَكَ ذَا رَحِمٍ مَحْرَمٍ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ أَوْ ذَا مَحْرَمٍ شَكَّ الضَّحَّاكُ قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْوَلِيدِ يَقُولُ قَرَأْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ لَا يَسْتَرِقُّ ذُو رَحِمٍ
[Machine] Ibn Mas'ood is a good person and some of our companions have gone to him.
بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ حَسَنٌ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا
[Machine] Regarding the scholars whose view from the people of Madinah is as follows: if the child owns the parent, the parent is freed. And if the parent owns the child, the child is freed. As for other relatives, they differ regarding it. The judge said, and Isa bin Minah said, from Ibn Abi Zinad, the people differed regarding it. Ibn Abi Uwais said, from Ibn Abi Zinad, from his father, from them. And they used to say, if a man buys a share from his father or mother, that share is freed and what remains is kept for the person to free it all. And if he inherits a share and does not buy it, the share is freed and what remains is not kept for him.
عَنِ الْفُقَهَاءِ الَّذِينَ يُنْتَهَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا مَلَكَ الْوَلَدُ الْوَالِدَ عَتَقَ الْوَالِدُ وَإِنْ مَلَكَ الْوَالِدُ الْوَلَدَ عَتَقَ الْوَلَدُ وَأَمَّا مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْقَرَابَةِ فَيَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ قَالَ الْقَاضِي وَقَالَ عِيسَى بْنُ مِينَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ فَاخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ النَّاسُ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْهُمْ وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا ابْتَاعَ الرَّجُلُ شِقْصًا مِنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ أُمِّهِ عَتَقَ ذَلِكَ الشِّقْصُ وَقُوِّمَ عَلَيْهِ مَا بَقِيَ فَيُعْتَقُ كُلُّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ وَرِثَ مِنْهُ شِقْصًا وَلَمْ يَشْتَرِهِ عَتَقَ الشِّقْصُ وَلَمْ يُقَوَّمْ عَلَيْهِ الْبَاقِي
