حماد (report 550; identity unresolved)

Zakariyyā ibn Yaḥyā al-Naysābūrī wrote to me: Abū Saʿīd al-Ashajj related to us, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Idrīs, from Abū Ḥanīfa—may God be pleased with him—who said: I said to Ḥammād, ‘A man says: If anything happens to me in my illness, my slave is free, and I owe so-and-so such-and-such.’ He said, ‘This is effective against the whole estate, except for the slave whose emancipation is made contingent upon the master’s death.’

The final exception renders al-mudabbar; the entry does not state further rules for calculating that emancipation.
