Contractual Obligation Regarding A Slave
Sunan Ibn Majah
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ " لاَ عُهْدَةَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعٍ " .
It was narrated from 'Uqbah bin 'Amir that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There is no contractual obligation after four (days)."
