Musnad Ahmad 818 (Book 5, Hadith 248) #34474
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، عَنْ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ يُودَى الْمُكَاتَبُ بِقَدْرِ مَا أَدَّى‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Paying fair compensation for those who are enslaved and seeking justice and fairness in all matters.

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 also teaches us about justice and fairness, as it is important to ensure that those who are enslaved are not taken advantage of and receive fair compensation for their efforts in gaining freedom.
