1261. Umm Salamah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When one of you (women) has a Mukātab who has with him what will fufill (the Kitābah) then observe Hijāb from him." (Hasan) [Abū Isa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. And the meaning of this Hadith according to the people of knowledge is that of caution. They say that the Mukātab is not freed, even if he has the amount to pay, until he pays it.
١٢٦١ - حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ نَبْهَانَ مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ مُكَاتَبِ إِحْدَاكُنَّ مَا يُؤَدِّي فَلْتَحْتَجِبْ مِنْهُ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَمَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ عَلَى التَّوَرُّعِ، وَقَالُوا: لَا يُعْتَقُ الْمُكَاتَبُ وَإِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُؤَدِّي، حَتَّى يُؤَدِّيَ.

If a Mukātab slave has enough money to pay for his freedom, the woman master of the slave should observe Hijāb from him. The slave is not free until he pays the amount in full, though he has enough amount to pay for his freedom, so, one should observe Hijāb as a precaution as he has the ability to get freedom.
