Diyah for Mukatab

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad ruled that the Diyah (blood money) for a Mukatab (a slave who has paid off part of his freedom) should be equivalent to the Diyah for a free person, and proportionate to the amount he had paid off.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah ruled that the Diyah for a Mukatab who is killed should be (equivalent) to the Diyah for a free and, proportionate to the amount be had paid off (toward buying his freedom)".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي الْمُكَاتَبِ يُقْتَلُ بِدِيَةِ الْحُرِّ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا أَدَّى
