Hadith 537
۞
2. Ibn Mahbub has narrated from ibn Ri’ab from ‘Ammar ibn abu al-Ahwas who has narrated the following
“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about Sa’ibah (unconditionally freed slave). He (the Imam) said, ‘You must consider what is in the Quran, “setting free a slave” O ‘Ammar, he is Sa’ibah (unconditionally freed slave) over whom there is no guardianship of anyone except Allah. Guardianship over whoever rests with Allah, such guardianship rests with His Messenger; and guardianship over whoever rests with the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, such guardianship rests with the Imam. His liabilities due to his crimes are on the Imam and his legacy is for the Imam.’”
2- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي الأحْوَصِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ السَّائِبَةِ فَقَالَ انْظُرُوا فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَمَا كَانَ فِيهِ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ فَتِلْكَ يَا عَمَّارُ السَّائِبَةُ الَّتِي لا وَلاءَ لأحَدٍ عَلَيْهَا إِلا اللهَ فَمَا كَانَ وَلاؤُهُ للهِ فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِهِ وَمَا كَانَ وَلاؤُهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَإِنَّ وَلاءَهُ لِلإمَامِ وَجِنَايَتَهُ عَلَى الإمَامِ وَمِيرَاثَهُ لَهُ.
