Note 5
(5) The statement: “My father used to divide among the free and the slaves”: Meaning he gave each free person and slave according to their need from the fay’. It appears that the slave and slave woman refer to the emancipated or contracted slaves, as an owned slave does not own property, and their maintenance is upon their master, not the treasury. Thus, it is stated in “Al-Mirqat.”

(٥) قوله: كان أبي يقسم للحر والعبد: أي يعطي كل واحد من الحُرّ والعبد بقدر حاجته من الفيء، والظاهر أن يكون المرادمن العبد والأمة المعتوقين أو المكاتبين؛ إذ المملوك لا يملك، ونفقته على مالكه لا على بيت المال. كذا في (المرقاة)
