باب إِذَا أَعْتَقَ غُلاَمَهُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ:Chapter on freeing a slave at death when he owns nothing else
Hadith 3304
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ: "أَنَّ رَجُلًا اشْتَرَى عَبْدًا بِتِسْعِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَأَعْتَقَهُ وَلَمْ يَقْضِ ثَمَنَ الْعَبْدِ، وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئًا، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: يَسْعَى الْعَبْدُ فِي ثَمَنِهِ".
It is narrated from Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him): A man bought a slave for seven hundred dirhams, then set him free, but did not pay the price of the slave, nor did he leave any other wealth. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said regarding this: The slave will work and labor according to his price. (That is, he will become free after paying that amount.)
