Arabic hadith text
وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مَنْ كَاتَبَ عَبْدَهُ عَلَى مِائَةِ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَأَدَّاهَا إِلَّا عَشْرَ أَوَاقٍ أَوْ قَالَ: عَشْرَةَ دَنَانِيرَ ثُمَّ عَجَزَ فَهُوَ رَقِيقٌ ". رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد وَابْن مَاجَه
Translation
Amr ibn Shuayb reported from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of God said: ‘Whoever makes a contract with his slave for one hundred uqiyyahs, and the slave pays all but ten uqiyyahs—or, he said, ten dinars—then becomes unable to pay the rest, remains enslaved.’ Al-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
