Hadith 97
۞
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father [from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr] from Jamil ibn Darraj from Zurarah who has narrated the following
“About the case of a man who frees his slave at the time of his death with debt on him, one of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘If the value of the debt and slave are equal, freeing is permissible, otherwise, it is not permissible.”’
2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ [عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ] عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام)
فِي رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ مَمْلُوكَهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ قِيمَتُهُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَمِثْلَهُ جَازَ عِتْقُهُ وَإِلا لَمْ يَجُزْ.
