"عن جابر، عن عَامرٍ الشَّعبىِّ، عن زيدِ بن ثابت في المكاتبِ يموتُ وقد بقى عليه من مكاتَبَتهِ، قال: هو عبد ما بقى عليه درهم، وقال عبد اللَّه: إذا أدَّى الثلثَ أو النِّصفَ فهو غَرِيمٌ، وقال: يَعْتِقُ بحساب ما أَدَّى ويَرِثُه ولدُه بحسابِ ذلك، قال جابرٌ: بلغنِى أن عمرَ بن الخطاب جمع عليًا وعبدَ اللَّه وزيدًا في المكاتب، فقال زيد: نقِيسُ لهم، فقال: أرأيتم إن أصابَ حدًا؟ وكيف يدخل على أمهاتِ المؤمنين؟ فجعل يقيس لهم بنحو هذا، ففضله عمرُ علَيْهمَا في المكاتَبِ".

"From Jabir, from 'Amir al-Sha'bi, from Zayd ibn Thabit concerning a mukatab (slave who has contracted to buy his freedom) who dies while still owing some of his contract. He said: He is a slave as long as one dirham remains owed. 'Abdullah said: If he has paid a third or a half, he is a debtor. Zayd said: He is freed in proportion to what he paid, and his child inherits from him in proportion to that. Jabir said: It reached me that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab gathered 'Ali, 'Abdullah and Zayd concerning the mukatab. Zayd said: We will analogize for them. He said: Consider if he commits a prescribed offence (hadd)? And how does he enter upon the Mothers of the Believers? So Zayd kept analogizing for them in this manner, and 'Umar preferred 'Ali and 'Abdullah over him concerning the mukatab."
