Hadith 11
۞
Hadith.3504 - Ibn Mahbub narrated from Ammar ibn Abi Al-Ahwas, who said
I asked Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), about al-sa'ibah (a freed slave without specific ties).
Imam (as) said: "Look in the Qur'an. Wherever there is mention of the freeing of a slave, that, O Ammar, refers to the sa'ibah, who has no wala' (loyalty) to any Muslim except Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic.
So, whoever's wala' belongs to Allah (swt), it belongs to His Messenger.
And whatever belongs to His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, its wala' belongs to the Imam.
His liabilities (for crimes or debts) are upon the Imam, and his inheritance belongs to the Imam."
3504 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْأَحْوَصِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلسَّائِبَةِ قَالَ "اُنْظُرْ فِي اَلْقُرْآنِ فَمَا كَانَ فِيهِ تَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ فَذَلِكَ يَا عَمَّارُ اَلسَّائِبَةُ اَلَّتِي لاَ وَلاَءَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَمَا كَانَ وَلاَؤُهُ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِهِ وَ مَا كَانَ لِرَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَإِنَّ وَلاَءَهُ لِلْإِمَامِ وَ جِنَايَتَهُ عَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ وَ مِيرَاثَهُ لَهُ".
