Hadith #2434

Arabic Text

English Translation

It was narrated from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-'Ala' that he said: "My mother was a freed slave of the Huraqa clan, and my father Ya'qub was a mukatab slave of Malik ibn Aws ibn al-Hadathan al-Nasri. My father completed his kitaba contract. The Huraqi man came to 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) to claim his right — meaning the walaa' — and Malik ibn Aws was also present and said: 'That one is my freed slave (mawla).' They disputed before 'Uthman, and he ruled in favor of the Huraqi man."
