٢٢۔ كِتَابُ الْوَصَايَا
[Machine] About Al-Sha'bi concerning a man who freed his slave upon his death and he had no one else, but he had a debt. Al-Sha'bi said, "He strives for the poor in his cost."
عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ فِي رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ غُلَامَهُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ غَيْرُهُ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قَالَ «يَسْعَى لِلْغُرَمَاءِ فِي ثَمَنِهِ»
[Machine] A man bought a slave for nine hundred dirhams, then set him free without paying the price of the slave or leaving anything. Ali said, "The slave should work to pay off his price."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا اشْتَرَى عَبْدًا بِتِسْعِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَأَعْتَقَهُ وَلَمْ يَقْضِ ثَمَنَ الْعَبْدِ وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئًا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ «يَسْعَى الْعَبْدُ فِي ثَمَنِهِ»
