تَحْرِيمِ تَوَلِّي الْعَتِيقِ غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ

وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، يَقُولُ: كَتَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَى كُلِّ بَطْنٍ عُقُولَهُ»، ثُمَّ كَتَبَ: «أَنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يُتَوَالَى مَوْلَى رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ»، ثُمَّ أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّهُ لَعَنَ فِي صَحِيفَتِهِ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ.

The prohibition of a manumitted slave taking anyone as a Mawla except the one who manumitted him

Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) made it obligatory for every tribe (the payment) of blood-wit; he then also made it explicit that it is not permissible for a Muslim to make himself the ally (of the slave emancipated by another) Muslim without his permission. He (the narrator further added): I was informed that he (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) cursed the one who did that (and it was recorded) in his Sahifa (in a document).
