Hadith.5744 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr Al-Bazanti narrated that Muhammad ibn Samaah reported from Abd Al-Hamid ibn Awad from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام who said regarding a mukatab (a slave under a contract for freedom) who had entered into a contract, paid part of it, and then died, leaving behind a son and wealth greater than what remained of his owed payment. Imam عليه السلام said: "His masters should be paid the remaining amount of his contract, and whatever remains after that belongs to his son."
