Arabic hadith text

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَصَابَ الْمُكَاتَبُ حَدًّا أَوْ مِيرَاثًا وَرِثَ بِحِسَابِ مَا عَتَقَ مِنْهُ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لَهُ قَالَ: «يُودَى الْمُكَاتَبُ بِحِصَّةِ مَا أَدَّى دِيَةَ حر وَمَا بَقِي دِيَة عبد» . وَضَعفه الفص الثَّالِث

Translation

Ibn Abbas reported from the Prophet that he said: ‘When a contracted slave incurs a fixed penalty or receives an inheritance, he inherits according to the proportion of himself that has been emancipated.’ In another version from al-Tirmidhi, he said: ‘The blood money for a contracted slave is paid at the rate for a free person in proportion to what he has paid, and at the rate for a slave for what remains.’ He graded it weak. [Third section.] Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi transmitted it.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic ends with a phrase meaning that the report was graded weak, followed by the fragment “third section”; this may be a section marker or source-text artifact, so it is retained in brackets.
