عن عمرو بن شعيب، عن أبيه، عن جده، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «المُكَاتَبُ عَبْدٌ ما بَقِيَ عليه من مُكَاتَبَتِهِ دِرْهَمٌ».

‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb reported from his father from his grandfather that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A slave who has entered into an agreement to purchase his freedom remains a slave as long as a dirham of the agreed price remains to be paid."

Good hadith Narrated by Abu Daoud

Explanation

This Hadīth shows that the slave who has purchased his freedom is not manumitted and treated as a free person until he pays the agreed amount in its entirety. If he still owes a fraction of it, he remains a slave to whom the rules of slavery apply.
