حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَدْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُتْبَةَ، إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " الْمُكَاتَبُ عَبْدٌ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ دِرْهَمٌ " .
Translation
Harun ibn ʿAbd Allah narrated to us: Abu Badr narrated to us: Abu ʿUtbah—Ismaʿil ibn ʿAyyash—narrated to me: Sulayman ibn Sulaym narrated to me, from ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “A mukatab remains a slave as long as even one dirham remains due from his emancipation contract.”
