3455 - وَ رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَرَكَ مَمْلُوكاً بَيْنَ نَفَرٍ فَشَهِدَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَنَّ اَلْمَيِّتَ أَعْتَقَهُ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ اَلشَّاهِدُ مَرْضِيّاً لَمْ يَضْمَنْ وَ جَازَتْ شَهَادَتُهُ فِي نَصِيبِهِ وَ اُسْتُسْعِيَ اَلْعَبْدُ فِيمَا كَانَ لِلْوَرَثَةِ".
Hadith.3455 - Hariz narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the Imams (as), peace be upon them, who said: I asked Imam (as) about a man who left a slave jointly owned by several people, and one of them testified that the deceased had freed the slave. Imam (as) said: "If the witness is trustworthy, he does not have to compensate the others, and his testimony is valid for his share. As for the remaining shares belonging to the heirs, the slave must work to pay off their value."
