so long as even one dirham remains due under his manumission contract.” Narrated by Abū Dāwūd1.
494—It is narrated from Ibn ʿAbbās as a report traced back to the Prophet, and from ʿUmar as a statement of his own: “Any bondwoman who bears her master’s child shall become free upon his death.” Narrated by Ibn Mājah2. The stronger view is that it is a statement of ʿUmar3—may Allah be pleased with him. And Allah knows best.
(1) Narrated by Abū Dāwūd, no. 3926, and al-Bayhaqī, 10/324. Al-Albānī graded its chain of transmission *hasan* (sound) in *al-Irwā*, no. 1674.
(2) Narrated by Ibn Mājah, no. 2515, and al-Hākim, 2/19, who graded it authentic. Al-Dhahabī rejected this grading, stating: “Husayn is *matrūk* (rejected); he reports it from Ibn Abbās as a Prophetic hadith.” *Al-Zawāid* states: “Its chain contains al-Husayn ibn Abd Allāh ibn Ubayd Allāh ibn Abbās. Ibn al-Madīnī and others rejected him, while Abū Hātim and others declared him weak. Al-Bukhārī said that he was suspected of *zandaqa* (heresy).” Al-Hāfiz also graded its chain weak in *al-Bulūgh*, no. 1247, as did al-Albānī in *al-Irwā*, no. 1771.
(3) Al-Bayhaqī, 10/346; al-Dāraqutnī, 4/130; and others. Al-Hāfiz stated in *al-Talkhīs*: “The correct view is that it is *mawqūf*—a statement of a Companion.” Abū Dāwūd, no. 3953, and Ibn Mājah, no. 2517, narrated that Jābir said: “We used to sell bondwomen who had borne their masters’ children during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and during the caliphate of Abū Bakr. When Umar became caliph, he forbade us, so we stopped.” Ibn Hibbān, al-Hākim, and al-Būsīrī graded it authentic, while al-Mundhirī graded it *hasan* (sound).

٤٩٤- وَعَنْ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَرْفُوعًا، وَعَنْ عُمَرَ موقوفُا: " أَيُّمَا أمةٍ وَلَدَتْ مِنْ سَيِّدِهَا فَهِيَ حُرَّةٌ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ" أَخْرَجَهُ اِبْنُ مَاجَه٢، وَالرَّاجِحُ اَلْمَوْقُوفُ عَلَى عُمَرَ٣ ﵁ والله أعلم.
