حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ " مَنْ كَاتَبَ عَبْدَهُ عَلَى مِائَةِ أُوقِيَّةٍ فَأَدَّاهَا إِلاَّ عَشْرَ أَوَاقٍ أَوْ قَالَ عَشَرَةَ دَرَاهِمَ ثُمَّ عَجَزَ فَهُوَ رَقِيقٌ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنَّ الْمُكَاتَبَ عَبْدٌ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهِ . وَقَدْ رَوَى الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ نَحْوَهُ .
Narrated 'Amr bin Shu'aib: From His Father, From His Grandfather That He Heard The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Delivering A Khutbah In Which He Said: "Whoever Gives A Writ Of Emancipation To His Slave, For One Hundred Uqiyyah, And He Pays It To Him Less Then Ten Uqiyah." - Or He Said: "Ten Dirham" - "Then He Becomes Incapable (Of Paying The Remainder), The He Remains A Slave." [Abu 'Eisa Said:] This Hadith Is Hasan Gharib. And This Acted Upon According To Most Of The People Of Knowledge Among The Companions Of The Prophet (ﷺ) And Others: The Mukatab Is A Slave As Long As Something Remains Due From Him For His Kitabah. Al-Hajjaj Bin Artat Reported Similarly From 'Amr Bin Shu'Aib.
