Sulaiman bin Da'ud bin al-Jarud سليمان بن داود أبو داود الطيالسي · Wages (Kitab Al-Ijarah)

If he paid something from its price, then he will be equal to the creditors in the remaining price. If a man dies and he has the very property of a man (i.e. seller), he is equal to the creditors whether he (the buyer) pays him (the price) or not. Abu Dawud said: Malik's version of this tradition is sounder.
