حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ نَبْهَانَ مَوْلَی أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا کَانَ لِإِحْدَاکُنَّ مُکَاتَبٌ وَکَانَ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُؤَدِّي فَلْتَحْتَجِبْ مِنْهُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2520
It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the Prophet said: "If anyone of you (women) has a Mukdtab, and he has enough (wealth) to payoff (his contract of manumission), she must veil herself from him."
