3439 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلَيْنِ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا عَبْدٌ فَأَعْتَقَ أَحَدُهُمَا نَصِيبَهُ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ مُضَارّاً كُلِّفَ أَنْ يُعْتِقَهُ كُلَّهُ وَ إِلاَّ اُسْتُسْعِيَ اَلْعَبْدُ فِي اَلنِّصْفِ اَلْآخَرِ".
Hadith.3439 - Hammad narrated from al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah (as), that he was asked about two men who jointly owned a slave, and one of them freed his share. Imam (as) said: "If he did so with the intent of causing harm, he will be required to free the slave completely. Otherwise, the slave must work to pay off the value of the remaining half."
