في الرجل يعتق عبده وليس له مال غيرهIf Someone Frees His Slave and Has No Other Property
Hadith 23134
٢٣١٣٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا حفص عن حجاج (عن) (١) قتادة عن الحسن قال: سئل علي عن رجل أعتق عبدًا له عند موته وليس له مال غيره وعليه دين قال: يعتق ويسعى في القيمة (٢).
It is narrated from Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about a person who, at the time of his death, set his slave free and had no other wealth besides this, and he was also in debt? He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: The slave will be set free, but he will strive to the extent of his value.
