Musnad Ahmad 723 (Book 5, Hadith 156) #34382
Blood Money for Mukatab

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that a slave with a contract of manumission should be paid blood money commensurate with as much as he had paid off.

It was narrated from 'Ali bin Abi Talib (رضي الله عنه) that The Prophet said: 'Blood money will be paid for the mukatab (a slave with a contract of manumission) commensurate with as much as he had paid off'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ يُودَى الْمُكَاتَبُ بِقَدْرِ مَا أَدَّى‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Paying blood money for muktabs commensurate with what they have already paid off.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the importance of paying blood money for mukatabs, which are slaves who have a contract of manumission. The Prophet Muhammad taught that the amount of blood money to be paid should be commensurate with what the muktab has already paid off. This means that if they have already made payments towards their freedom, then they should receive an amount equal to what they have already given in order to gain their freedom. This hadith emphasizes the importance of justice and fairness when dealing with those who are vulnerable and in need. It also shows us how important it is to treat people fairly and not take advantage of them due to their circumstances or lack of power or resources.
