Hadith 700
۞
Hadith.5660 - Hammad ibn Isa narrated from Al-Husayn ibn Al-Mukhtar, who said
Abu Hanifah entered upon Abu Abdullah (as), and Abu Abdullah (as) asked him:
"What do you say about a house that collapsed on a group of people, leaving behind two boys - one of them is free and the other is a slave belonging to the free one - but it is not known which is the free one and which is the slave?"
Abu Hanifah replied: "Half of this one and half of that one should be freed, and the wealth should be divided equally between them."
Abu Abdullah (as) said: "It is not so. Rather, a draw (lot) should be cast between them, and the one upon whom the lot falls is the free one, and the other is freed and made his client (mawla)."
5660 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْمُخْتَارِ قَالَ
دَخَلَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "مَا تَقُولُ فِي بَيْتٍ سَقَطَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ فَبَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ صَبِيَّانِ أَحَدُهُمَا حُرٌّ وَ اَلْآخَرُ مَمْلُوكٌ لِصَاحِبِهِ فَلَمْ يُعْرَفِ اَلْحُرُّ مِنَ اَلْمَمْلُوكِ" فَقَالَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ يُعْتَقُ نِصْفُ هَذَا وَ نِصْفُ هَذَا وَ يُقْسَمُ اَلْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَانِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ لَكِنَّهُ يُقْرَعُ بَيْنَهُمَا فَمَنْ أَصَابَتْهُ اَلْقُرْعَةُ فَهُوَ اَلْحُرُّ وَ يُعْتَقُ هَذَا فَيُجْعَلُ مَوْلًى لَهُ".
