Hadith 295
۞
Hadith.3437 - Muhammad ibn Qays narrated from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said
Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, ruled regarding a slave who was jointly owned by two men. One of them freed his half while the slave was still a child, and the other retained ownership of his half.
Imam (as) said: "The slave shall be valued based on his worth on the day the first owner freed his share, and the freed slave shall be required to work to pay off the value of the half that was not freed until he fulfills the amount."
3437 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"قَضَى أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي عَبْدٍ كَانَ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَحَرَّرَ أَحَدُهُمَا نِصْفَهُ وَ هُوَ صَغِيرٌ وَ أَمْسَكَ اَلْآخَرُ نِصْفَهُ قَالَ "يُقَوَّمُ قِيمَةَ يَوْمٍ حَرَّرَ اَلْأَوَّلُ وَ أُمِرَ اَلْمُحَرَّرُ أَنْ يَسْعَى فِي نِصْفِهِ اَلَّذِي لَمْ يُحَرَّرْ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَهُ" ".
