في الرجل يحجر على غلامهRuling if a Person Prevents His Slave from Trade or Transactions
Hadith 22359
٢٢٣٥٩ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا يحيى بن يمان عن محمد بن قيس عن بكار (العتري) (١) أن رجلًا حجر على غلام له فرفع إلى علي فقال: كنت ترسله بدرهم يشتري به لحمًا قال: نعم، قال: فأجعله مأذونًا له (٢).
It is narrated from Hazrat Bakr Al-Anazi (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man forbade his slave from trading. The slave took the matter to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the owner, "Do you give him dirhams and send him to buy meat and such things?" He replied, "Yes." Upon hearing this, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) permitted the slave to engage in trade.
