SahihAlBukhari-017-001-3095	Narrated Jabir Bin Abdullah: There was a Jew in Medina who used to lend me money up to the season of plucking dates. Jabir had a piece of land which was on the way to Ruma. That year the land was not promising; so the payment of the debt was delayed one year. The Jew came to me at the time of plucking; but gathered nothing from my land. I asked him to give me one year respite; but he refused. This news reached the Prophet ﷺ whereupon he said to his companions; Let us go and ask the Jew for respite for Jabir. All of them came to me in my garden; and the Prophet ﷺ started speaking to the Jew; but he Jew said; O Abu Qasim! I will not grant him respite. When the Prophet ﷺ saw the Jew attitude; he stood up and walked all around the garden and came again and talked to the Jew; but the Jew refused his request. I got up and brought some ripe fresh dates and put it in front of the Prophet. He ate and then said to me; Where is your hut; O Jabir? I informed him; and he said; Spread out a bed for me in it. I spread out a bed; and he entered and slept. When he woke up; I brought some dates to him again and he ate of it and then got up and talked to the Jew again; but the Jew again refused his request. Then the Prophet ﷺ got up for the second time amidst the palm trees loaded with fresh dates; and said; O Jabir! Pluck dates to repay your debt. The Jew remained with me while I was plucking the dates; till I paid him all his right; yet there remained extra quantity of dates. So I went out and proceeded till I reached the Prophet and informed him of the good news; whereupon he said; I testify that I am Allah Messenger ﷺ.

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4029	Narrated Abdullah Bin AlZubair: When AlZubair got up during the battle of AlJamal; he called me and I stood up beside him; and he said to me; O my son! Today one will be killed either as an oppressor or as an oppressed one. I see that I will be killed as an oppressed one. My biggest worry is my debts. Do you think; if we pay the debts; there will be something left for us from our money? AlZubair added; O my son! Sell our property and pay my debts. AlZubair then willed one-third of his property and willed one-third of that portion to his sons; namely; Abdullah sons. He said; One-third of the one third. If any property is left after the payment of the debts; one-third of the one-third of what is left is to be given to your sons. Hisham; a sub-narrator added; Some of the sons of Abdullah were equal in age to the sons of AlZubair e.g. Khubaib and Abbas. Abdullah had nine sons and nine daughters at that time. The narrator Abdullah added: My father AlZubair went on drawing my attention to his debts saying; If you should fail to pay part of the debts; appeal to my Master to help you. By Allah! I could not understand what he meant till I asked; O father! Who is your Master? He replied; Allah is my Master. By Allah; whenever I had any difficulty regarding his debts; I would say; Master of AlZubair! Pay his debts on his behalf. and Allah would help me to pay it. AlZubair was martyred leaving no Dinar or Dirham but two pieces of land; one of which was called AlGhaba; and eleven houses in Medina; two in Basra; one in Kufa and one in Egypt. In fact; the source of the debt which he owed was; that if somebody brought some money to deposit with him. AlZubair would say; No; i wont keep it as a trust ; but I take it as a debt; for I am afraid it might be lost. AlZubair was never appointed governor or collector of the tax of Kharaj or any other similar thing; but he collected his wealth from the war booty he gained during the holy battles he took part in; in the company of the Prophet; Abu Bakr; Umar; and Uthman. Abdullah Bin AlZubair added: When I counted his debt; it turned to be two million and two hundred thousand. The sub-narrator added: Hakim Bin Hizam met Abdullah Bin AlZubair and asked; O my nephew! How much is the debt of my brother? Abdullah kept it as a secret and said; One hundred thousand; Hakim said; By Allah! I dont think your property will cover it. On that Abdullah said to him; What if it is two million and two hundred thousand? Hakim said; I dont think you can pay it; so if you are unable to pay all of it; I will help you. AlZubair had already bought AlGhaba for one hundred and seventy thousand. Abdullah sold it for one million and six hundred thousand. Then he called the people saying; Any person who has any money claim on AlZubair should come to us in AlGhaba. There came to him Abdullah Bin Jafar whom AlZubair owed four hundred thousand. He said to Abdullah Bin AlZubair; If you wish I will forgive you the debt. Abdullah bin AlZubair said; No. Then Ibn Jafar said; If you wish you can defer the payment if you should defer the payment of any debt. Ibn AlZubair said; No. Abdullah Bin Jafar said; Give me a piece of the land. Abdullah Bin AlZubair said to him ; Yours is the land extending from this place to this place. So; Abdullah Bin AlZubair sold some of the property including the houses and paid his debt perfectly; retaining four and a half shares from the land i.e. AlGhaba. He then went to Muawlya while Amr Bin Uthman; AlMundhir Bin AlZubair and Ibn Zama were sitting with him. Muawiya asked; At what price have you appraised AlGhaba? He said; One hundred thousand for each share; Muawiya asked; How many shares have been left? Abdullah replied; Four and a half shares. AlMundhir Bin AlZubair said; I would like to buy one share for one hundred thousand. Amr Bin Uthman said; I would like to buy one share for one hundred thousand. Ibn Zama said; I would like to buy one share for one hundred thousand. Muawiya said; How much is left now? Abdullah replied; One share and a half. Muawiya said; I would like to buy it for one hundred and fifty thousand. Abdullah also sold his part to Muawiya six hundred thousand. When Ibn AlZubair had paid all the debts. AlZubair sons said to him; Distribute our inheritance among us. He said; No; by Allah; I will not distribute it among you till I announce in four successive Hajj seasons; Would those who have money claims on AlZubair come so that we may pay them their debt. So; he started to announce that in public in every Hajj season; and when four years had elapsed; he distributed the inheritance among the inheritors. AlZubair had four wives; and after the one-third of his property was excluded according to the will ; each of his wives received one million and two hundred thousand. So the total amount of his property was fifty million and two hundred thousand.

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4098	Narrated Jabir Bin Abdullah AlAnsari: My father was martyred on the day of the Ghazwa of Uhud and left six daughters and some debts to be paid. When the time of plucking the date-fruits came; I went to Allah Messenger ﷺ and said; O Allah Apostle! you know that my father was martyred on Uhud day and owed much debt; and I wish that the creditors would see you. The Prophet ﷺ said; Go and collect the various kinds of dates and place them separately in heaps I did accordingly and called him. On seeing him; the creditors started claiming their rights pressingly at that time. When the Prophet ﷺ saw how they behaved; he went round the biggest heap for three times and sat over it and said; Call your companions i.e. the creditors. Then he kept on measuring and giving them; till Allah cleared all my father debts. By Allah; it would have pleased me that Allah would clear the debts of my father even though I had not taken a single date to my sisters. But by Allah; all the heaps were complete; as they were and I looked at the heap where Allah Messenger ﷺ was sitting and noticed as if not a single date had been taken thereof.

So; the Prophet did not give them my garden and told me that he would come to me the next morning. He came to us early in the morning and wandered among the date-palms and invoked Allah to bless their fruits. I then plucked the dates and paid the creditors; and there remained some of the dates for us.

SahihAlBukhari-017-001-4862	Narrated Jabir: When Abdullah my father died; he left behind children and debts. I asked the lenders to put down some of his debt; but they refused; so I went to the Prophet ﷺ to intercede with them; yet they refused. The Prophet ﷺ said to me ; Classify your dates into their different kinds: Adha Bin Zaid; Lean and Ajwa; each kind alone and call all the creditors and wait till I come to you. I did so and the Prophet ﷺ came and sat beside the dates and started measuring to each his due till he paid them fully; and the amount of dates remained as it was before; as if he had not touched them. On another occasion I took part in one of Ghazawat among with the Prophet ﷺ and I was riding one of our camels. The camel got tired and was lagging behind the others. The Prophet ﷺ hit it on its back. He said; Sell it to me; and you have the right to ride it till Medina. When we approached Medina; I took the permission from the Prophet ﷺ to go to my house; saying; O Allah Messenger ﷺ ! I have newly married. The Prophet ﷺ asked; Have you married a virgin or a matron a widow or divorcee ? I said; I have married a matron; as Abdullah my father died and left behind daughters small in their ages; so I married a matron who may teach them and bring them up with good manners. The Prophet ﷺ then said to me ; Go to your family. When I went there and told my maternal uncle about the selling of the camel; he admonished me for it. On that I told him about its slowness and exhaustion and about what the Prophet ﷺ had done to the camel and his hitting it. When the Prophet ﷺ arrived; I went to him with the camel in the morning and he gave me its price; the camel itself; and my share from the war booty as he gave the other people.

So; I went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about it. He said to me ; When you pluck the dates and collect them in the Mirbad i.e. a place where dates are dried ; call me Allah Messenger ﷺ. Finally he came accompanied by Abu Bakr and Umar and sat on the dates and invoked Allah to bless them. Then he said; Call your creditors and give them their full rights. So; I paid all my father creditors in full and yet thirteen extra Wasqs of dates remained; seven of which were Ajwa and six were Laun or six of which were Ajwa and seven were Laun. I met Allah Messenger ﷺ at sunset and informed him about it. On that he smiled and said; Go to Abu Bakr and Umar and tell them about it.

SunanAbuDawoud-017-001-29326	Narrated Abdullah AlHawzani: I met Bilal; the Muadhdhin of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Aleppo; and said: Bilal; tell me; what was the financial position of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? He said: He had nothing. It was I who managed it on his behalf since the day Allah made him Prophet of Allah ﷺ until he died. When a Muslim man came to him and he found him naked; he ordered me to clothe him. I would go; borrow some money ; and purchase a cloak for him. I would then clothe him and feed him. A man from the polytheists met me and said: I am well off; Bilal. Do not borrow money from anyone except me. So I did accordingly. One day when I performed ablution and stood up to make call to prayer; the same polytheist came along with a body of merchants. When he saw me; he said: O Abyssinian. I said: I am at your service. He met me with unpleasant looks and said harsh words to me. He asked me: Do you know how many days remain in the completion of this month? I replied: The time is near. He said: Only four days remain in the completion of this month. I shall then take that which is due from you i.e. loan ; and then shall return you to tend the sheep as you did before. I began to think in my mind what people think in their minds on such occasions. When I offered the night prayer; the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to his family. I sought permission from him and he gave me permission. I said: Messenger of Allah; may my parents be sacrificed for you; the polytheist from whom I used to borrow money said to me such-and-such. Neither you nor I have anything to pay him for me; and he will disgrace me. So give me permission to run away to some of those tribes who have recently embraced Islam until Allah gives His Apostle ﷺ something with which he can pay the debt for me. So I came out and reached my house. I placed my sword; waterskin or sheath ; shoes and shield near my head. When dawn broke; I intended to be on my way. All of a sudden I saw a man running towards me and calling: Bilal; return to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So I went till I reached him. I found four mounts kneeling on the ground with loads on them. I sought permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Be glad; Allah has made arrangements for the payment of your debt. He then asked: Have you not seen the four mounts kneeling on the ground? I replied: Yes. He said: You may have these mounts and what they have on them. There are clothes and food on them; presented to me by the ruler of Fadak. Take them away and pay off your debt. I did so. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition. I then went to the Masjid and found that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting there. I greeted him. He asked: What benefit did you have from your property? I replied: Allah Most High paid everything which was due from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Nothing remains now. He asked: Did anything remain from that property ? I said: Yes. He said: Look; if you can give me some comfort from it; for I shall not visit any member of my family until you give me some comfort from it. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the night prayer; he called me and said: What is the position of that which you had with you i.e. property ? I said: I still have it; no one came to me. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed the night in the Masjid. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. Next day when he offered the night prayer; he called me and asked: What is the position of that which you had i.e. the rest of the property ? I replied: Allah has given you comfort from it; Messenger of Allah. He said: Allah is Most Great; and praised Allah; fearing lest he should die while it was with him. I then followed him until he came to his wives and greeted each one of them and finally he came to his place where he had to pass the night. This is all for which you asked me.

In Muwata Malik

Hadith Page	English Translation	Book and Chapter
MuwataMalik-017-001-34809	Malik said; The generally agreed on way of doing things in our community about a mudabbar is that the owner cannot sell him or change the position in which he has put him. If a debt overtakes the master; his creditors cannot sell the mudabbar as long as the master is alive. If the master dies and has no debts; the mudabbar is included in the third of the bequest because he expected his work from him as long as he lived. He cannot serve him all his life; and then he frees him from his heirs out of the main portion of his property when he dies. If the master of the mudabbar dies and has no property other than him; one third of him is freed; and two thirds of him belong to the heirs. If the master of the mudabbar dies and owes a debt which encompasses the mudabbar; he is sold to meet the debt because he can only be freed in the third which is allowed for bequest. He said; If the debt only includes half of the slave; half of him is sold for the debt. Then a third of what remains after the debt is freed. Malik said; It is not permitted to sell a mudabbar and it is not permitted for anyone to buy him unless the mudabbar buys himself from his master. He is permitted to do that. Or else some one gives the master of the mudabbar money and his master who made him a mudabbar frees him. That is also permitted for him. Malik said; His wala belongs to his master who made him a mudabbar. Malik said; It is not permitted to sell the service of a mudabbar because it is an uncertain transaction since one does not know how long his master will live. That is uncertain and it is not good. Malik spoke about a slave who was shared between two men; and one of them made his portion mudabbar. He said; They estimate his value between them. If the one who made him mudabbar buys him; he is all mudabbar. If he does not buy him; his tadbir is revoked unless the one who retains ownership of him wishes to give his partner who made him mudabbar his value. If he gives him to him for his value; that is binding; and he is all mudabbar. Malik spoke about the christian man who made a christian slave of his mudabbar and then the slave became muslim. He said; One separates the master and the slave; and the slave is removed from his christian master and is not sold until his situation becomes clear. If the christian dies and has a debt; his debt is paid from the price of the slave unless he has in his estate what will pay the debt. Then the mudabbar is set free.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34810	Malik related to me that he heard that Umar Ibn Abd AlAziz gave a judgement about the mudabbar who did an injury. He said; The master must surrender what he owns of him to the injured person. He is made to serve the injured person and recompense in the form of service is taken from him as the blood-money of the injury. If he completes that before his master dies; he reverts to his master. Malik said; The generally agreed on way of doing things in our community about a mudabbar who does an injury and then his master dies and the master has no property except him is that the third allowed to be bequeathed is freed; and then the blood-money for the in jury is divided into thirds. A third of the blood-money is against the third of him which was set free; and two-thirds are against the two-thirds which the heirs have. If they wish; they surrender what they have of him to the party with the injury; and if they wish; they give the injured person two-thirds of the blood-money and keep their portion of the slave. That is because that injury is a criminal action by the slave and it is not a debt against the master by which whatever setting free and tadbir the master had done would be abrogated. If there were a debt to people held against the master of the slave; as well as the criminal action of the slave; part of the mudabbar would be sold in proportion to the blood-money of the injury and according to the debt. Then one would begin with the blood-money which was for the criminal action of the slave and it would be paid from the price of the slave. Then the debt of his master would be paid; and then one would look at what remained after that of the slave. His third would b be set free; and two-thirds of him would belong to the heirs. That is because the criminal action of the slave is more important than the debt of his master. That is because; if the man dies and leaves a mudabbar slave whose value is one hundred and fifty dinars; and the slave strikes a free man on the head with a blow that lays open the skull; and the blood-money is fifty dinars; and the master of the slave has a debt of fifty dinars; one begins with the fifty dinars which are the blood-money of the head wound; and it is paid from the price of the slave. Then the debt of the master is paid. Then one looks at what remains of the slave; and a third of him is set free and two-thirds of him remain for the heirs. The blood-money is more pressing against his person than the debt of his master. The debt of his master is more pressing than the tadbir which is a bequest from the third of the property of the deceased. None of the tadbir is permitted while the master of the mudabbar has a debt which is not paid. It is a bequest. That is because Allah; the Blessed; the Exalted; said; After any bequest that is made or any debt. Surat 4 ayat 10 Malik said; If there is enough in the third property that the deceased can bequeath to free all the mudabbar; he is freed and the blood-money due from his criminal action is held as a debt against him which follows him after he is set free even if that blood-money is the full blood-money. It is not a debt on the master. Malik spoke about a mudabbar who injured a man and his master surrendered him to the injured party; and then the master died and had a debt and did not leave any property other than the mudabbar; and the heirs said; We surrender the mudabbar to the party; whilst the creditor said; My debt exceeds that. Malik said that if the creditor debt did exceed that at all ; he was more entitled to it and it was taken from the one who owed the debt; according to what the creditor was owed in excess of the blood-money of the injury. If his debt did not exceed it at all; he did not take the slave. Malik spoke about a mudabbar who did an injury and had property; and his master refused to ransom him. He said; The injured party takes the property of the mudabbar for the blood-money of his injury. If there is enough to pay it; the injured party is paid in full for the blood-money of his injury and the mudabbar is returned to his master. If there is not enough to pay it; he takes it from the blood-money and uses the mudabbar for what remains of the blood-money.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34895	Malik related to me from Umar Ibn Abdulrahman Ibn Dalaf AlMuzani from his father that a man from the Juhayna tribe used to buy camels before people set out for hajj and sell them at a higher price. Then he travelled quickly and used to arrive in Makka before the others who set out for hajj. He went bankrupt and his situation was put before Umar Ibn AlKhattab; who said; O People! AlUsayfi; AlUsayfi of the Juhayna; was satisfied with his deen and his trust because it was said of him that he arrived before the others on hajj. He used to incur debts which he was not careful to repay; so all of his property has been eaten up by it. Whoever has a debt against him; let him come to us tomorrow and we will divide his property between his creditors. Beware of debts! Their beginning is a worry and their end is destitution.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34908	Yahya said that Malik spoke about a man who died and had a debt owing to him and there was one witness; and some people had a debt against him and they had only one witness; and his heirs refused to take an oath on their rights with their witness. He said; The creditors take an oath and take their rights. If there is anything left over; the heirs do not take any of it. That is because the oaths were offered to them before and they abandoned them; unless they say; We did not know that our companion had extra; and it is known that they only abandoned the oaths because of that. I think that they should take an oath and take what remains after his debt.	The Chapter on Writing Oaths And Pledges in HodHood Indexing, The Book of The Evil Eye in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-34931	Yahya said that he heard Malik say; The way of doing things generally agreed upon in our community in the case of a man who dies and has sons and one of them claims; My father confirmed that so-and- so was his son; is that the relationship is not established by the testimony of one man; and the confirmation of the one who confirmed it is only permitted as regards his own share in the division of his father property. The one testified for is only given his due from the share of the testifier. Malik said; An example of this is that a man dies leaving two sons; and 600 dinars. Each of them takes 300 dinars. Then one of them testifies that his deceased father confirmed that so-and-so was his son. The one who testifies is obliged to give 100 dinars to the one thus connected. This is half of the inheritance of the one thought to be related; had he been related. If the other confirms him; he takes the other 100 and so he completes his right and his relationship is established. His position is similar to that of a woman who confirms a debt against her father or her husband and the other heirs deny it. She must pay to the person whose debt she confirms; the amount according to her share of the full debt; had it been confirmed against all the heirs. If the woman inherits an eighth; she pays the creditor an eighth of his debt. If a daughter inherits a half; she pays the creditor half of his debt. Whichever women confirm him; pay him according to this. Malik said; If a man testimony is in agreement with what the woman testified to; that so- and-so had a debt against his father; the creditor is made to take an oath with one witness and he is given all his due. This is not the position with women because a man testimony is allowed and the creditor must take an oath with the testimony of his witness; and take all his due. If he does not take an oath; he only takes from the inheritance of the one who confirmed him according to his share of the debt; because he confirmed his right and the other heirs denied it. It is permitted for him to confirm it.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34949	Yahya said that he heard Malik say; What is done in our community about a man who refers a creditor to another man for the debt he owes him is that if the one referred to goes bankrupt or dies; and does not leave enough to pay the debt; then the creditor has nothing against the one who referred him and the debt does not return to the first party. Malik said; This is the way of doing things about which there is no dispute in our community. Malik said; If a man has his debt to somebody taken on for him by another man and then the man who took it on dies or goes bankrupt; then whatever was taken on by him returns to the first debtor.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34956	Yahya said that he heard Malik say; The way of doing things in our community about which there is no dispute; is that if a man gives sadaqa to his son - sadaqa which the son takes possession of or which is in the father keeping and the father has had his sadaqa witnessed; he cannot take back any of it because he cannot reclaim any sadaqa. Yahya said that he heard Malik say; The generally agreed-on way of doing things in our community in the case of someone who gives his son a gift or grants him a gift which is not sadaqa is that he can take it back as long as the child does not start a debt; which people claim from him; and which they trust him for on the strength of the gift his father has given him. The father cannot take back anything from the gift after debts are started against it. If a man gives his son or daughter something and a woman marries the man; and she only marries him for the wealth and the property which his father has given him and so the father wants to take that back; or; if a man marries a woman whose father has given her a gift and he marries her with an increased bride-price because of the wealth and property that her father has given; then the father says; I will take that back; then the father cannot take back any of that from the son or daughter if it is as I have described to you.

MuwataMalik-017-001-34973	Malik said; The generally agreed on way of doing things among us is that when slaves write their kitaba together in one kitaba; and some are responsible for others; and they are not reduced anything by the death of one of the responsible ones; and then one of them says; I cant do it; and gives up; his companions can use him in whatever work he can do and they help each other with that in their kitaba until they are freed; if they are freed; or remain slaves if they remain slaves. Malik said; The generally agreed on way of doing things among us is that when a master gives a slave his kitaba; it is not permitted for the master to let anyone assume the responsibility for the kitaba of his slave if the slave dies or is incapable. This is not part of the sunna of the muslims. That is because when a man assumes responsibility to the master of a mukatab for what the mukatab owes of his kitaba; and then the master of the mukatab pursues that from the one who assumes the responsibility; he takes his money falsely. It is not as if he is buying the mukatab; so that what he gives is part of the price of something that is his; and neither is the mukatab being freed so that the price established for him buys his inviolability as a free man. If the mukatab is unable to meet the payments he reverts to his master and is his slave. That is because kitaba is not a fixed debt which can be assumed by the master of the mukatab. It is something which; when it is paid by the mukatab; sets him free. If the mukatab dies and has a debt; his master is not one of the creditors for what remains unpaid of the kitaba. The creditors have precedence over the master. If the mukatab cannot meet the payments; and he owes debts to people; he reverts to being a slave owned by his master and the debts to the people are the liability of the mukatab. The creditors do not enter with the master into any share of the price of his person. Malik said; When people are written together in one kitaba and there is no kinship between them by which they inherit from each other; and some of them are responsible for others; then none of them are freed before the others until all the kitaba has been paid. If one of them dies and leaves property and it is more than all of what is against them; it pays all that is against them. The excess of the property goes to the master; and none of those who have been written in the kitaba with the deceased have any of the excess. The master claims are overshadowed by their claims for the portions which remain against them of the kitaba which can be fulfilled from the property of the deceased; because the deceased had assumed their responsibility and they must use his property to pay for their freedom. If the deceased mukatab has a free child not born in kitaba and who was not written in the kitaba; it does not inherit from him because the mukatab was not freed until he died.	The Chapter on Slave As A Property in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Good Character in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-34974	Malik related to me that he heard that Umm Salamah; the wife of the Prophet; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; made a settlement with her mukatab for an agreed amount of gold and silver. Malik said; The generally agreed on way of doing things among us in the case of a mukatab who is shared by two partners; is that one of them cannot make a settlement with him for an agreed price according to his portion without the consent of his partner. That is because the slave and his property are owned by both of them; and so one of them is not permitted to take any of the property except with the consent of his partner. If one of them settled with the mukatab and his partner did not; and he took the agreed price; and then the mukatab died while he had property or was unable to pay; the one who settled would not have anything of the mukatab property and he could not return that for which he made settlement so that his right to the slave person would return to him. However; when someone settles with a mukatab with the permission of his partner and then the mukatab is unable to pay; it is preferable that the one who broke with him return what he has taken from the mukatab for the severance and he can have back his portion of the mukatab. He can do that. If the mukatab dies and leaves property; the partner who has kept hold of the kitaba is paid in full the amount of the kitaba which remains to him against the mukatab from the mukatab property. Then what remains of property of the mukatab is between the partner who broke with him and his partner; according to their shares in the mukatab. If one of the partners breaks off with him and the other keeps the kitaba; and the mukatab is unable to pay; it is said to the partner who settled with him; If you wish to give your partner half of what you took so the slave is divided between you; then do so. If you refuse; then all of the slave belongs to the one who held on to possession of the slave. Malik spoke about a mukatab who was shared between two men and one of them made a settlement with him with the permission of his partner. Then the one who retained possession of the slave demanded the like of that for which his partner had settled or more than that and the mukatab could not pay it. He said; The mukatab is shared between them because the man has only demanded what is owed to him. If he demands less than what the one who settled with him took and the mukatab can not manage that; and the one who settled with him prefers to return to his partner half of what he took so the slave is divided in halves between them; he can do that. If he refuses then all of the slave belongs to the one who did not settle with him. If the mukatab dies and leaves property; and the one who settled with him prefers to return to his companion half of what he has taken so the inheritance is divided between them; he can do that. If the one who has kept the kitaba takes the like of what the one who has settled with him took; or more; the inheritance is between them according to their shares in the slave because he is only taking his right. Malik spoke about a mukatab who was shared between two men and one of them made a settlement with him for half of what was due to him with the permission of his partner; and then the one who retained possession of the slave took less than what his partner settled with him for and the mukatab was unable to pay. He said; If the one who made a settlement with the slave prefers to return half of what he was awarded to his partner; the slave is divided between them. If he refuses to return it; the one who retained possession has the portion of the share for which his partner made a settlement with the mukatab. Malik said; The explanation of that is that the slave is divided in two halves between them. They write him a kitaba together and then one of them makes a settlement with the mukatab for half his due with the permission of his partner. That is a fourth of all the slave. Then the mukatab is unable to continue; so it is said to the one who settled with him; If you wish; return to your partner half of what you were awarded and the slave is divided equally between you. If he refuses; the one who held to the kitaba takes in full the fourth of his partner for which he made settlement with the mukatab. He had half the slave; so that now gives him three-fourths of the slave. The one who broke off has a fourth of the slave because he refused to return the equivalent of the fourth share for which he settled. Malik spoke about a mukatab whose master made a settlement with him and set him free and what remained of his severance was written against him as debt; then the mukatab died and people had debts against him. He said; His master does not share with the creditors because of what he is owed from the severance. The creditors begin first. Malik said; A mukatab cannot break with his master when he owes debts to people. He would be set free and have nothing because the people who hold the debts are more entitled to his property than his master. That is not permitted for him. Malik said; According to the way things are done among us; there is no harm if a man gives a kitaba to his slave and settles with him for gold and reduces what he is owed of the kitaba provided that only the gold is paid immediately. Whoever disapproves of that does so because he puts it in the category of a debt which a man has against another man for a set term. He gives him a reduction and he pays it immediately. This is not like that debt. The breaking of the mukatab with his master is dependent on his giving money to speed up the setting free. Inheritance; testimony and the hudud are obliged for him and the inviolability of being set free is established for him. He is not buying dirhams for dirhams or gold for gold. Rather it is like a man who having said to his slave; Bring me such-and-such an amount of dinars and you are free; then reduces that for him; saying; If you bring me less than that; you are free. That is not a fixed debt. Had it been a fixed debt; the master would have shared with the creditors of the mukatab when he died or went bankrupt. His claim on the property of the mukatab would join theirs.	The Chapter on Partners And Share In Salves in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Good Character in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-34976	Malik said; The best of what is said about a man who buys the mukatab of a man is that if the man wrote the slave kitaba for dinars or dirhams; he does not sell him unless it is for merchandise which is paid immediately and not deferred; because if it is deferred; it would be a debt for a debt. A debt for a debt is forbidden. He said; If the master gives a mukatab his kitaba for certain merchandise of camels; cattle; sheep; or slaves; it is more correct that the buyer buy him for gold; silver; or different goods than the ones his master wrote the kitaba for; and that must be paid immediately; not deferred. Malik said; The best of what I have heard about a mukatab when he is sold is that he is more entitled to buy his kitaba than the one who buys him if he can pay his master the price for which he was sold in cash. That is because his buying himself is his freedom; and freedom has priority over what bequests accompany it. If one of those who have written the kitaba for the mukatab sells his portion of him; so that a half; a third; a fourth; or whatever share of the mukatab is sold; the mukatab does not have the right of pre-emption in what is sold of him. That is because it is like the severance of a partner; and a partner can only make a settlement for a partner of the one who is mukatab with the permission of his partners because what is sold of him does not give him complete rights as a free man and his property is barred from him; and by buying part of himself; it is feared that he will become incapable of completing payment because of what he had to spend. That is not like the mukatab buying himself completely unless whoever has some of the kitaba remaining due to him gives him permission. If they give him permission; he is more entitled to what is sold of him. Malik said; Selling one of the instalments of a mukatab is not halal. That is because it Is an uncertain transaction. If the mukatab cannot pay it; what he owes is nullified. If he dies or goes bankrupt and he owes debts to people; then the person who bought his instalment does not take any of his portion with the creditors. The person who buys one of the instalments of the mukatab is in the position of the master of the mukatab. The master of the mukatab does not have a share with the creditors of the mukatab for what he is owed of the kitaba of his slave. It is also like that with the kharaj; a set amount deducted daily from the slave against his earnings ; which accumulates for a master from the earnings of his slave. The creditors of his slave do not allow him a share for what has accumulated for him from those deductions. Malik said; There is no harm in a mukatab paying off his kitaba with coin or merchandise other than the merchandise for which he wrote his kitaba if it is identical with it; on time for the instalment or delayed. Malik said that if a mukatab died and left an umm walad and small children by her or by someone else and they could not work and it was feared that they would be unable to fulfil their kitaba; the umm walad of the father was sold if her price would pay all the kitaba for them; whether or not she was their mother. They were paid for and set free because their father did not forbid her sale if he feared that he would be unable to complete his kitaba. If her price would not pay for them and neither she nor they could work; they all reverted to being slaves of the master. Malik said; What is done among us in the case of a person who buys the kitaba of a mukatab; and then the mukatab dies before he has paid his kitaba; is that the person who bought the kitaba inherits from him. If; rather than dying; the mukatab cannot pay; the buyer has his person. If the mukatab pays his kitaba to the person who bought him and he is freed; his wala goes to the person who wrote the kitaba and the person who bought his kitaba does not have any of it.	The Chapter on Slave As A Property in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Good Character in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-35033	Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah Ibn Umar that Umar Ibn AlKhattab said; If a slave who has wealth is sold; that wealth belongs to the seller unless the buyer stipulates its inclusion. Malik said; The generally agreed upon way of doing things among us is that if the buyer stipulates the inclusion of the slave property whether it be cash; debts; or goods of known or unknown value; then they belong to the buyer; even if the slave possesses more than that for which he was purchased; whether he was bought for cash; as payment for a debt; or in exchange for goods. This is possible because a master is not asked to pay zakat on his slave property. If a slave has a slave-girl; it is halal for him to have intercourse with her by his right of possession. If a slave is freed or put under contract kitaba to purchase his freedom; then his property goes with him. If he becomes bankrupt; his creditors take his property and his master is not liable for any of his debts.	The Chapter on Slave As A Property in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Setting Free and Wala in Muwata Malik
MuwataMalik-017-001-35116	Malik related to me that Zayd Ibn Aslam said; Usury in the Aljahiliya was that a man would give a loan to a man for a set term. When the term was due; he would say; Will you pay it off or increase me? If the man paid; he took it. If not; he increased him in his debt and lengthened the term for him. Malik said; The disapproved of way of doing things about which there is no dispute among us; is that a man should give a loan to a man for a term; and then the demander reduce it and the one from whom it is demanded pay it in advance. To us that is like someone who delays repaying his debt after it is due to his creditor and his creditor increases his debt. Malik said; This is nothing else but usury. No doubt about it. Malik spoke about a man who loaned one hundred dinars to a man for two terms. When it was due; the person who owed the debt said to him; Sell me some goods; whose price is one hundred dinars in cash for one hundred and fifty on credit. Malik said; This transaction is not good; and the people of knowledge still forbid it. Malik said; This is disapproved of because the creditor himself gives the debtor the price of what the man sells him; and he defers repayment of the hundred of the first transaction for the debtor for the term which is mentioned to him in the second transaction; and the debtor increases him with fifty dinars for his deferring him. That is disapproved of and it is not good. It also resembles the hadith of Zayd Ibn Aslam about the transactions of the people of the Aljahiliya. When their debts were due; they said to the person with the debt; Either you pay in full or you increase it. If they paid; they took it; and if not they increased debtors in their debts; and extended the term for them.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35118	86 Malik related to me from Mousa Ibn Maysara that he heard a man ask Said Ibn AlMusayab; I am a man who sells for a debt. Said said; Do not sell except for what you take to your camel. Malik spoke about a person who bought goods from a man provided that he provide him with those goods by a specific date; either in time for a market in which he hoped for their saleability; or to fulfil a need at the time he stipulated. Then the seller failed him about the date; and the buyer wanted to return those goods to the seller. Malik said; The buyer cannot do that; and the sale is binding on him. If the seller does bring the goods before the completion of the term; the buyer cannot be forced to take them. Malik spoke about a person who bought food and measured it. Then some one came to him to buy it and he told him that he had measured it for himself and taken it in full. The new buyer wanted to trust him and accept his measure. Malik said; Whatever is sold in this way for cash has no harm in it but whatever is sold in this way on delayed terms is disapproved of until the new buyer measures it out for himself. The sale with delayed terms is disapproved of because it leads to usury and it is feared that it will be circulated in this way without weight or measure. If the terms are delayed it is disapproved of and there is no disagreement about that with us. Malik said; One should not buy a debt owed by a man whether present or absent; without the confirmation of the one who owes the debt; nor should one buy a debt owed to a man by a dead person even if one knows what the deceased man has left. That is because to buy that is an uncertain transaction and one does not know whether the transaction will be completed or not completed. He said; The explanation of what is disapproved of in buying a debt owed by someone absent or dead; is that it is not known what unknown debtor may be connected to the dead person. If the dead person is liable for another debt; the price which the buyer gave on strength of the debt may become worthless. Malik said; There is another fault in that as well. He is buying something which is not guaranteed for him; and so if the deal is not completed; what he paid becomes worthless. This is an uncertain transaction and it is not good. Malik said; One distinguishes between a man who is only selling what he actually has and a man who is being paid in advance for something which is not yet in his possession. The man advancing the money brings his gold which he intends to buy with. The seller says; This is 10 dinars. What do you want me to buy for you with it? It is as if he sold 10 dinars cash for 15 dinars to be paid later. Because of this; it is disapproved of. It is something leading to usury and fraud.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35123	Malik related to me from Humayd Ibn Qays AlMakki that Mujahid said; Abdullah Ibn Umar borrowed some dirhams from a man; then he discharged his debt with dirhams better than them. The man said; Abu Abdar-Rahman. These are better than the dirhams which I lent you. Abdullah Ibn Umar said; I know that. But I am happy with myself about that. Malik said; There is no harm in a person who has borrowed gold; silver; food; or animals; taking to the person who lent it; something better than what he lent; when that is not a stipulation between them nor a custom. If that is by a stipulation or promise or custom; then it is disapproved; and there is no good in it. He said; That is because the Messenger of Allah; may Allah bless him and grant him peace; discharged his debt with a good camel in its seventh year in place of a young camel which he borrowed; and Abdullah Ibn Umar borrowed some dirhams; and repaid them with better ones. If that is from the goodness of the borrower; and it is not by a stipulation; promise; or custom; it is halal and there is no harm in it.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35136	Malik said; The inheritance of a husband from a wife when she leaves no children or grandchildren through sons is a half. If she leaves children or grandchildren through sons; male or female; by her present or previous husbands; the husband has a quarter after bequests or debts. The inheritance of a wife from a husband who does not leave children or grandchildren through sons is a quarter. If he leaves children or grandchildren through sons; male or female; the wife has an eighth after bequests and debts. That is because Allah; the Blessed; the Exalted! said in His Book; You have a half of what your wives leave if they have no children. If they have children; you have a fourth of what they leave after bequests and debts. They have a fourth of what you leave if you have no children. If you have children; they have an eighth after bequests or debts. Sura4ayat 11.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35563	Yahya related to me that Malik said; I consider that if a man dies and he has not paid zakat on his property; then zakat is taken from the third of his property from which he can make bequests ; and the third is not exceeded and the zakat is given priority over bequests. In my opinion it is the same as if he had a debt; which is why I think it should be given priority over bequests. Malik continued; This applies if the deceased has asked for the zakat to be deducted. If the deceased has not asked for it to be deducted but his family do so then that is good; but it is not binding upon them if they do not do it. Malik continued; The sunna which we are all agreed upon is that zakat is not due from someone who inherits a debt i.e. wealth that was owed to the deceased ; or goods; or a house; or a male or female slave; until a year has elapsed over the price realised from whatever he sells i.e. slaves or a house; which are not zakatable or over the wealth he inherits; from the day he sold the things; or took possession of them. Malik said; The sunna with us is that zakat does not have to be paid on wealth that is inherited until a year has elapsed over it.

MuwataMalik-017-001-35566	Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid Ibn Khusayfa that he had asked Sulayman Ibn Yasar whether zakat was due from a man who had wealth in hand but also owed a debt for the same amount; and he replied; No. Malik said; The position that we are agreed upon concerning a debt is that the lender of it does not pay zakat on it until he gets it back. Even if it stays with the borrower for a number of years before the lender collects it; the lender only has to pay zakat on it once. If he collects an amount of the debt which is not zakatable; and has other wealth which is zakatable; then what he has collected of the debt is added to the rest of his wealth and he pays zakat on the total sum. Malik continued; If he has no ready money other than that which he has collected from his debt; and that does not reach a zakatable amount; then he does not have to pay any zakat. He must; however; keep a record of the amount that he has collected and if; later; he collects another amount which; when added to what he has already collected; brings zakat into effect; then he has to pay zakat on it. Malik continued; Zakat is due on this first amount; together with what he has further collected of the debt owed to him; regardless of whether or not he has used up what he first collected. If what he takes back reaches twenty dinars of gold; or two hundred dirhams of silver he pays zakat on it. He pays zakat on anything else he takes back afte rthat; whether it be a large or small amount; according to the amount. Malik said; What shows that zakat is only taken once from a debt which is out of hand for some years before it is recovered is that if goods remain with a man for trading purposes for some years before he sells them; he only has to pay zakat on their prices once. This is because the one who is owed the debt; or owns the goods; should not have to take the zakat on the debt; or the goods; from anything else; since the zakat on anything is only taken from the thing itself; and not from anything else. Malik said; Our position regarding some onewho owes a debt; and has goods which are worth enough to pay off the debt; and also has an amount of ready money which is zakatable; is that he pays the zakat on the ready money which he has to hand. If; however; he only has enough goods and ready money to pay off the debt; then he does not have to pay any zakat. But if the ready money that he has reaches a zakatable amount over and above the amount of the debt that he owes; then he must pay zakat on it.
