Hadith 537
۞
Hadith.5508 - It was narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr Al-Bazanti, who said
I copied from a book in the handwriting of Abu Al-Hasan (as):
"A certain person, your master, passed away, leaving behind a paternal nephew who also passed away. The nephew left behind an umm walad (a concubine who bore him no children) and bequeathed to her a thousand dirhams. Does the bequest hold validity, and does she receive emancipation? What is her status? May I be your ransom, I seek your opinion on this matter."
Imam (as) wrote back: "She is to be freed from one-third (of the estate), and she has the bequest."
5508 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ اَلْبَزَنْطِيِّ قَالَ
نَسَخْتُ مِنْ كِتَابٍ بِخَطِّ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فُلاَنٌ مَوْلاَكَ تُوُفِّيَ اِبْنُ أَخٍ لَهُ فَتَرَكَ أُمَّ وَلَدٍ لَهُ لَيْسَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ وَ أَوْصَى لَهَا بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ هَلْ تَجُوزُ اَلْوَصِيَّةُ وَ هَلْ يَقَعُ عَلَيْهَا عِتْقٌ وَ مَا حَالُهَا رَأْيَكَ فَدَتْكَ نَفْسِي فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "تُعْتَقُ مِنَ اَلثُّلُثِ وَ لَهَا اَلْوَصِيَّةُ".
