Imam Malik : 1284

و حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْمَكِّيِّ أَنَّ مُكَاتَبًا كَانَ لِابْنِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ هَلَكَ بِمَكَّةَ وَتَرَكَ عَلَيْهِ بَقِيَّةً مِنْ كِتَابَتِهِ وَدُيُونًا لِلنَّاسِ وَتَرَكَ ابْنَتَهُ فَأَشْكَلَ عَلَى عَامِلِ مَكَّةَ الْقَضَاءُ فِيهِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَيَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ أَنْ ابْدَأْ بِدُيُونِ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ اقْضِ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ كِتَابَتِهِ ثُمَّ اقْسِمْ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ مَالِهِ بَيْنَ ابْنَتِهِ وَمَوْلَاهُ

Narrated to me by Malik, from Humaid bin Qais Al-Makki, that a mukatab slave of Ibn Mutawakkil died in Mecca, leaving manumission debts, debts to others, and a daughter. Mecca’s governor struggled to resolve it and wrote to Abdul Malik bin Marwan. He replied, "First settle his debts to people, then his manumission balance, and divide his remaining wealth between his daughter and master.
