Hadith.5507 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Jamil ibn Salih from Abu Ubaydah, who said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as), about a man who had a slave woman with whom he had a son. When death approached him, he bequeathed for her two thousand dirhams or more and instructed his heirs to enslave her.
Imam (as) said: "No, rather she should be freed from one-third of the deceased's estate and given what he had bequeathed for her."
5507 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ لَهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ وَ لَهُ مِنْهَا غُلاَمٌ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ اَلْوَفَاةُ أَوْصَى لَهَا بِأَلْفَيْ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ بِأَكْثَرَ لِلْوَرَثَةِ أَنْ يَسْتَرِقُّوهَا فَقَالَ "لاَ بَلْ تُعْتَقُ مِنْ ثُلُثِ اَلْمَيِّتِ وَ تُعْطَى مَا أَوْصَى لَهَا بِهِ".
