(22) باب فِي دِيَةِ الْمُكَاتَبِ
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave judgment about the slave who had made an agreement to purchase his freedom (mukatab) and he had been killed that blood-wit is paid for him at the rate paid for a free man so far as he has paid the purchase money, and at the rate paid for a slave as the remainder is concerned.
