[Machine] Zaid ibn Thabit used to say, "The mukatab (a slave with a written contract to buy his freedom) is a slave who has no remaining dirham that can be inherited or inherited from. On the other hand, Ali used to say, 'When the mukatab dies and leaves wealth, what he has paid and what remains should be divided. Whatever he has paid goes to his heirs, and whatever remains goes to his patrons.' Abdullah used to say, 'What remains of his mukatabah (the contract for buying freedom) should be given to his patrons, and what remains of his inheritance should be given to his heirs.'"

كَانَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ؓ يَقُولُ الْمُكَاتَبُ عَبْدٌ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ دِرْهَمٌ لَا يَرِثُ وَلَا يُورَثُ وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ يَقُولُ إِذَا مَاتَ الْمُكَاتَبُ وَتَرَكَ مَالًا قُسِّمَ مَا تَرَكَ عَلَى مَا أَدَّى وَعَلَى مَا بَقِيَ فَمَا أَصَابَ مَا أَدَّى فَلِلْوَرَثَةِ وَمَا أَصَابَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِمَوَالِيهِ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ ؓ يَقُولُ يُؤَدَّى إِلَى مَوَالِيهِ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ وَلِوَرَثَتِهِ مَا بَقِيَ
