18. Emancipation of Slaves (4/4)
١٨۔ كِتَابُ الْعِتْقِ ص ٤
On his father's authority, told that his grandfather reported the Prophet ﷺ said: If any slave entered into an agreement to buy his freedom for one hundred uqiyahs and he pays them all but ten, he remains a slave (until he pays the remaining ten); and if a slave entered into an agreement to purchase his freedom for one hundred dinars, and he pays them all but ten dinars, he remains a slave (until he pays the remaining ten). Abu Dawud said: This narrator 'Abbas al-Jariri is not the same person. They said: It is misunderstanding. He is some other narrator. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3927)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ كَاتَبَ عَلَى مِئَةِ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَأَدَّاهَا إِلَّا عَشْرَةَ أَوَاقٍ فَهُوَ عَبْدٌ وَأَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ كَاتَبَ عَلَى مِئَةِ دِينَارٍ فَأَدَّاهَا إِلَّا عَشْرَةَ دَنَانِيرٍ فَهُوَ عَبْدٌ
[Machine] O Messenger of Allah, we hear from you narrations. Can we write them down? He said, "Yes." So, the first thing that was written was the book of the Prophet ﷺ to the people of Makkah: it is not permissible to have two conditions in one sale, nor a sale and a loan altogether, nor a sale of something that is not guaranteed. And whoever owes a hundred dirhams, he should repay them except for ten dirhams, then he is a slave, or on a hundred and ten dirhams, he should repay them except for two dirhams, then he is a slave.
يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا نَسْمَعُ مِنْكَ أَحَادِيثًا أَفَتَأْذَنُ لَنَا أَنْ نَكْتُبَهَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَا كُتِبَ كِتَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ لَا يَجُوزُ شَرْطَانِ فِي بَيْعٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلَا بَيْعٍ وَسَلَفٍ جَمِيعًا وَلَا بَيْعِ مَا لَمْ يُضْمَنْ وَمَنْ كَانَ مُكَاتَبًا عَلَى مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَضَاهَا إِلَّا عَشَرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ فَهُوَ عَبْدٌ أَوْ عَلَى مِائَةِ وَقِيَّةٍ فَقَضَاهَا إِلَّا أُوقِيَّتَيْنِ فَهُوَ عَبْدٌ
18.28 [Machine] The record of the offices has what leads
١٨۔٢٨ ذِكْرُ الْمُكَاتَبِ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُؤَدِّي
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying: "When the scribes find what they are entitled to, refrain from it."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا وَجَدَ الْمُكَاتَبُ مَا يُؤَدِّي فَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ»
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "When you find the scribes fulfilling their duty, then distance yourself from it."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا وَجَدَ الْمُكَاتَبُ مَا يُؤَدِّي فَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, "If one of you has something that needs to be taken care of by writing, then keep it private."
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَنَا «إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ مُكَاتَبِ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مَا يَقْضِي عَنْهُ كِتَابَتَهُ فَاحْتَجِبِي مِنْهُ»
[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ made a pact with us that when he is at the desk of one of you, meaning fulfilling what is left of his correspondence, then we should hide from him.
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ مُكَاتَبِ إِحْدَاكُنَّ يَعْنِي وَفَاءٌ بِمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ فَاحْتَجِبْنَ مِنْهُ
[Machine] Um Salama, the Prophet of Allah, ﷺ , said, "When there is something to be dealt with by the scribes, keep away from it."
أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْمُكَاتَبِ مَا يَقْضِي عَنْهُ فَاحْتَجِبْنَ عَنْهُ»
[Machine] Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to entrust us when one of us had writings, so he would complete what remained of his writing and then strike a veil over it. This is the interpretation of the saying of Allah, may His praises be glorified: "And give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you." [Surah An-Nur 33]
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ كَانَ عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا إِذَا كَانَ لِإِحْدَانَا مُكَاتَبٌ «فَقَضَى مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهِ فَاضْرِبْنَ دُونَهُ الْحِجَابَ» تَأْوِيلُ قَوْلِ اللهِ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ {وَآتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ} [النور 33]
[Machine] Narrated from the Prophet ﷺ : "Give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given to you." [Surah An-Nur, verse 33] He said, "A quarter of a tenth."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ {وَآتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ} [النور 33] قَالَ «رُبْعَ الْمُكَاتَبَةِ»
[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ, "And give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you." [Al-Nur 33] He (the Prophet) said, "One-fourth of the writing." Ibn Juraij said, and more than one informed me, from Ata that he used to narrate this hadith without mentioning the Prophet ﷺ.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ {وَآتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ} [النور 33] قَالَ «رُبْعَ الْكِتَابَةِ» قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ لَا يَذْكُرُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ
[Machine] About Ali, "And give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you." [Surah An-Nur: 33] He said, "One-fourth of the written contract."
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ {وَآتُوهُمْ مِنْ مَالِ اللهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمْ} [النور 33] قَالَ «رُبْعَ الْمُكَاتَبَةِ»
[Machine] He hired a boy as his scribe for four thousand, then he relieved him of a thousand, and then he said, "If I had not seen Ali hiring a boy scribe for him and relieving him of a quarter, I would not have done so."
أَنَّهُ كَاتَبَ غُلَامًا لَهُ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ آلَافٍ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ عَنْهُ أَلْفًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا كَاتَبَ غُلَامًا لَهُ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ عَنْهُ الرُّبُعَ مَا فَعَلْتُ»
18.29 [Machine] In the mother of the child
١٨۔٢٩ فِي أُمِّ الْوَلَدِ
“We used to sell our slave women and the mothers of our children (Umahat Awaldina) when the Prophet ﷺ was still living among us, and we did not see anything wrong with that.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2517)
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ «كُنَّا نَبِيعُ سَرَارِيَّنَا أُمَّهَاتِ الْأَوْلَادِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَيٌّ مَا نَرَى بِذَلِكَ بَأْسًا»
[Machine] "We used to sell mothers of the children during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and no one would deny that from us."
«كُنَّا نَبِيعُ أُمَّهَاتِ الْأَوْلَادِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَا يُنْكِرُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا»
[Machine] "We used to sell them during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Abu Abdur Rahman Zaid al-Ami said, "He is not strong."
«كُنَّا نَبِيعُهُنَّ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ زَيْدٌ الْعَمِّيُّ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ
18.30 [Machine] The mention of evidence that prevents the sale of mothers of children.
١٨۔٣٠ ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَدَلُّ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْعِ بَيْعِ أُمَّهَاتِ الْأَوْلَادِ
that while he was sitting with Messenger of Allah ﷺ he said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We get female captives as our share of booty, and we are interested in their prices, what is your opinion about coitus interrupt us?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you really do that? It is better for you not to do it. No soul that which Allah has destined to exist, but will surely come into existence. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2229)
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ بَيْنَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا نُصِيبُ سَبْيًا فَنُحِبُّ الْأَثْمَانَ فَكَيْفَ تَرَى فِي الْعَزْلِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَوَ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكُمْ؟ لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَلَّا تَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكُمْ فَإِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ نَسَمَةٌ كَتَبَ اللهُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَّا هِيَ خَارِجَةٌ»
that while he was sitting with Messenger of Allah ﷺ he said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We get female captives as our share of booty, and we are interested in their prices, what is your opinion about coitus interrupt us?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you really do that? It is better for you not to do it. No soul that which Allah has destined to exist, but will surely come into existence. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2229)
أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ بَيْنَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا نُصِيبُ سَبَايَا وَنُحِبُّ الْأَثْمَانَ فَكَيْفَ تَرَى فِي الْعَزْلِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَوَ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ؟ لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَلَّا تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ نَسَمَةٌ كُتِبَتْ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَّا وَهِيَ خَارِجَةٌ»
0 Abu Sa'id, did you hear Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioning al-'azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the expedition to the Bi'l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing 'azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid-conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Messenger of Allah is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah's Mes- senger ﷺ, and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born. (Using translation from Muslim 1438a)
دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو صِرْمَةَ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فَسَأَلَهُ أَبُو صِرْمَةَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَذْكُرُ الْعَزْلَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فَسَبَيْنَا كَرَائِمَ الْعَرَبِ فَطَالَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْعُزْبَةُ وَرَغِبْنَا فِي النِّسَاءِ فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَسْتَمْتِعَ وَنَعْزِلَ فَقُلْنَا نَفْعَلُ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا لَا نَسْأَلُهُ فَسَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَلَّا تَفْعَلُوا مَا كَتَبَ اللهُ خَلَقَ نَسَمَةً هِيَ كَائِنَةٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا سَتَكُونُ»
[Machine] I and Abu Sirmah entered upon Abu Sa'id al-Khudri and asked him about divorce. Abu Sa'id said, "We stealthily entered upon the women of Bani al-Mustaliq and we intended to divorce them. So some of us said to others, 'Would you divorce them while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is among us and you do not ask him?' So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we stealthily entered upon the noble women of the Arabs, the women of Bani al-Mustaliq, and we intended to divorce them. We desire redemption.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No problem if you do not do it, for there is no soul that Allah has decreed will exist until the Day of Resurrection but it will come into existence.'" Abdullah bin Shu'aib bin al-Laith reported to us from my father who reported from my grandfather that Ibn Ayyub reported to me from Uqail who reported from Ibn Shihab who reported from Abu Muhriz who reported from Abu Sa'id in a similar way.
دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو صِرْمَةَ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَسَرْنَا نِسَاءَ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَعْزِلَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ تَعْزِلُونَ وَفِيكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَسْأَلُونَهُ؟ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَسَرْنَا كَرَائِمَ الْعَرَبِ أَسَرْنَا نِسَاءَ بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ وَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَعْزِلَ وَرَغِبْنَا فِي الْفِدَاءِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَلَّا تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنَّهُ مَا مِنْ نَسَمَةٍ كَتَبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ تَكُونَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا وَهِيَ كَائِنَةٌ» 5028 أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَيْرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ نَحْوَهُ
[Machine] Have you heard anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about isolation? He said, "Yes." We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about isolation, and he said, "What is it?" We said, "It is when a man has a breastfeeding woman, and he dislikes her becoming pregnant, so he separates from her. Or when he has a slave girl who has no other wealth except him, and he contracts a disease from her, so he dislikes that she becomes pregnant, so he separates from her." So he said, "Do not do that, as it is a matter of fate."
سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْعَزْلِ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْعَزْلِ فَقَالَ «وَمَا هُوَ؟» فَقُلْنَا الرَّجُلُ تَكُونُ لَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ الْمُرْضِعُ فَيَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ فَيَعْزِلُ عَنْهَا أَوْ تَكُونُ الْجَارِيَةُ لَهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرَهَا فَيُصِيبُ مِنْهَا فَيَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ فَيَعْزِلَ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ «لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَلَّا تَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الْقَدَرُ»
[Machine] We said, 'O Messenger of Allah! If a man has a wife and she breastfeeds him and he dislikes her and a slave girl and he dislikes her and both of them do not want to become pregnant, what should they do?' He said, 'There is no harm if they do not do that, for that is only fate.'
قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ تَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ الْمَرْأَةُ تُرْضِعُ فَيُصِيبُ مِنْهَا فَيَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ وَتَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ الْجَارِيَةُ فَيُصِيبُ مِنْهَا وَيَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَحْمِلَ فَيَعْزِلَ عَنْهَا قَالَ «لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَلَّا تَفْعَلُوا فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الْقَدَرُ»
