English translation

4816. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbâs that a Mukâtab was killed at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he commanded that the Diyah be paid (equivalent) to the Diyah for a free man, (proportionate to the amount he had paid off towards buying his freedom). (Sahîh)

Arabic text

4812 - أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَشْعَثِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، وَعَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: «أَنَّ مُكَاتَبًا قُتِلَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُودَى مَا أَدَّى دِيَةَ الْحُرِّ، وَمَالًا دِيَةَ الْمَمْلُوكِ»

Commentary

Mukâtab means a slave who has made an agreement with his owner to pay a certain sum of money in order to purchase his freedom. This covenant or agreement is called Kitâbah.
