Hadith 49
۞
Hadith.3469 - Muhammad ibn Sinan narrated from al-Ala' ibn al-Fudayl, from Abu Abdullah (as), regarding the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic: "Then write [a contract of emancipation] for them if you know any good in them" (Surah An-Nur 24:33).
Imam (as) said
"If you know that they possess wealth."
I asked about the verse: 'And give them from the wealth of Allah which He has given you,' (Surah An-Nur 24:33).
Imam (as) said: "You reduce for them from their installments what you did not initially intend to reduce, and do not increase it beyond what you originally intended."
I asked: "How much?"
Imam (as) said: "Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), reduced one thousand out of six thousand for one of his slaves."
3469 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: فَكٰاتِبُوهُمْ إِنْ عَلِمْتُمْ فِيهِمْ خَيْراً قَالَ
"إِنْ عَلِمْتُمْ لَهُمْ مَالاً " قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ آتُوهُمْ مِنْ مٰالِ اَللّٰهِ اَلَّذِي آتٰاكُمْ قَالَ "تَضَعُ عَنْهُ مِنْ نُجُومِهِ اَلَّتِي لَمْ تَكُنْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَنْقُصَهُ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً وَ لاَ تَزِيدُهُ فَوْقَ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ" فَقُلْتُ كَمْ قَالَ "وَضَعَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِمَمْلُوكٍ لَهُ أَلْفاً مِنْ سِتَّةِ آلاَفٍ".
