Hadith 14
وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ, عَنْ أَبِيهِ, عَنْ جَدِّهِ, عَنْ اَلنَّبِيِّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ قَالَ: } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِإِسْنَادٍ حَسَن ٍ 1‏ وَأَصْلُهُ عِنْدَ أَحْمَدَ, وَالثَّلَاثَةِ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اَلْحَاكِم ُ 2‏ .‏
" اَلْمُكَاتَبُ عَبْدٌ مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ دِرْهَمٌ"
'Amro bin Shu’aib narrated on the authority of his father, on the authority of his grandfather (RAA), That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

“A slave who entered into an agreement to buy his freedom is still a slave as long as a Dirham of the agreed price remains to be paid.” Related by Abu Dawud with a good chain of narrators. The full hadith is related by Ahmad and the three Imams. Al-Hakim graded it to be Sahih.
