If, in a sale, the seller has the option (of rescinding), and then the goods are destroyed while with the buyer, nothing will be obligatory upon him. Hazrat Sufyan says that the price will be obligatory upon him.

24077 - Sufyan said: He is liable for the value.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aamir that if a person asks another, "Do you have witnesses?" He replies, "No." Then he himself comes and gives testimony in his favor. He (Aamir) replied that this testimony is permissible.

Hazrat Ja'far narrates that Hazrat Qasim bin Muhammad went to Hazrat Aban bin Uthman to bear witness regarding a person. That person reminded him of something during the testimony. He said, "I do not remember, and I have not remembered anything other than this." Then he left, and it came to his mind while the people were still sitting. He said, "He had asked me something regarding the testimony which I did not remember, and now I have remembered it. I bear witness that what he said is true, and I testify to it."

Hazrat Ibn Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked the sale of a Mukatab (a slave who has a contract for freedom).

Ibrahim says that if the amount of the contract of emancipation (kitabah) remains due upon a mukatab, and he is sold to the one from whom he was bought, and he is made responsible for his own emancipation, then there is no harm in it; he will not be sold for the purpose of slavery.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Hazrat Barirah, who was a Mukatabah (a slave woman with a contract of emancipation), came to me, so I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that if I buy her, will her Wala (right of inheritance/loyalty) go to her former master? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Buy her and set her free; Wala belongs to the one who sets free.

It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaykah that a woman (slave) was given a contract of manumission (kitabah). Then, during the period of kitabah, she gave birth to two children. Later, she passed away. Regarding this, Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked. He said: If her children wish to remain on their mother’s contract of kitabah, then they are permitted; when they pay (the agreed amount), they will become free.

Ibrahim says that the children of a mukatab are in his status; they will be freed with his freedom, and will remain slaves with his slavery. And if their mother passes away, then they will try to pay the remaining amount of the contract of manumission; if it is paid, they will be freed, and if it is not paid, they will remain slaves.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the children of a mukatab (contracted slave) are also considered like him in striving to fulfill the payment of the contract.
