Chapter on the Inheritance of the Mukatab (Contracted Slave)
وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "اَلْمُكَاتَبُ يَرِثُ وَ يُورَثُ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا أَدَّى".
Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Mansur ibn Hazim from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "A mukatab (a slave under a contract for freedom) inherits and is inherited from according to the proportion of what he has paid off."
