"عن أَبى سعيد الْمقبُرِى قال: كاتَبَتْنِى موْلاتِى على أرْبعينَ ألْفَ دِرْهَمٍ، فأَدَّيْتُ إِلَيْها عَامَّةَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ حَمَلتُ ما بَقِى إلَيْها، فَقُلْتُ: هذَا مَالكِ فاقْبِضِيهِ، قالت: لا، حَتَّى آخُذَهُ مِنْك شَهْرًا بشهرٍ، وسنةً بسنةٍ، فذكرتُ ذلك لعِمرَ بن الخطاب، فقال: ادْفَعْهُ إلى بَيْتِ الْمَالِ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَ إلَيْهَا فقال: هذا مالُكِ في بيت المالِ، وَقَدْ عَتَقَ أبو سعيدٍ، فإن شِئْتِ فَخُذِى شَهْرًا بِشهر، وسَنَةً بِسَنةٍ، فَأَرْسَلتْ فَأَخَذَتْةُ".

"On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Maqburi who said: My mistress made a contract of manumission with me for forty thousand dirhams. I paid her most of it, then I brought what remained to her and said: This is your property, take it. She said: No, until I take it from you month by month and year by year. I mentioned that to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, who said: Deposit it in the treasury. Then he sent to her and said: This is your property in the treasury, and Abu Sa'id is freed. If you wish, take it month by month and year by year. So she sent for it and took it."
