English translation

2520. It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "If anyone of you (women) has a Mukâtab, and he has enough (wealth) to pay off (his contract of manumission), she must veil herself from him." (Hasan)

Arabic text

2520 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ نَبْهَانَ، مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِذَا كَانَ لِإِحْدَاكُنَّ مُكَاتَبٌ، وَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُؤَدِّي، فَلْتَحْتَجِبْ مِنْهُ»

Commentary

In a previous narration it has been mentioned that a slave does not attain the manumission until he makes the full payment. Only having the required amount does not make it obligatory to veil herself from him.
