21. Book of Inheritance
٢١۔ كِتَابُ الْفَرَائِضِ
[Machine] Ibrahim said, "If there is an obligation, it belongs to him, and if the servant seeks help, the obligation is between them."
عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا «إِنْ ضَمِنَ كَانَ الْوَلَاءُ لَهُ وَإِنْ اسْتَسْعَى الْعَبْدُ كَانَ الْوَلَاءُ بَيْنَهُمْ»
[Machine] About 'Amir, there was a slave between two men. One of them emancipated his share, so he said, "Complete his emancipation. If he does not have property, the slave should be sold for half of a fair price, and the right to manumit is for the one who emancipated him."
عَنْ عَامِرٍ فِي عَبْدٍ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ أَعْتَقَ أَحَدُهُمَا نَصِيبَهُ فَقَالَ «يُتَمَّمُ عِتْقُهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ اسْتُسْعِيَ الْعَبْدُ فِي النِّصْفِ بِقِيمَةِ عَدْلٍ وَالْوَلَاءُ لِمَنْ أَعْتَقَ»
[Machine] About his father, in a dispute between two men, one of them set free his portion and the other held onto it. He said, "His inheritance is between them."
عَنْ أَبِيهِ فِي عَبْدٍ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ أَعْتَقَ أَحَدَهُمَا نَصِيبَهُ وَأَمْسَكَهُ الْآخَرُ قَالَ «مِيرَاثُهُ بَيْنَهُمَا»
[Machine] And Qatadah said, "It belongs to the one who sets free, and its price is on him, and the people of Kufa say it."
وَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ «هُوَ لِلْمُعْتِقِ كُلُّهُ وَثَمَنُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُهُ أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ»
