Hazrat Ibn Jurayj states that Hazrat Ata said: In the case where a mukatab suffers a loss and receives compensation, he will use it to assist in paying off the remaining amount of his contract of manumission. The people before you have also said the same.

Hazrat Mughira narrates that Ibrahim said: In the case where a mukatab suffers a loss and receives compensation, then he alone is entitled to that compensation.

Hazrat Waki’ says that I heard Hazrat Sufyan saying: When compensation is received for damage caused to a mukatab, it will belong to him and not to his master.
