Hadith.3538 - Isma'il ibn Muslim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as):
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) was approached with a dispute regarding a man who had captured a runaway slave. The slave had been with him for some time, but later escaped again.
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said
"The man must swear by Allah (swt), there is no god but Him, that he did not take the slave's clothes, nor anything that belonged to him, nor did he sell him, nor conspire in his release. If he swears this, he is absolved from liability."
3538 - وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اُخْتُصِمَ إِلَيْهِ
فِي رَجُلٍ أَخَذَ عَبْداً آبِقاً وَ كَانَ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ هَرَبَ مِنْهُ قَالَ "يَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ اَلَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ مَا سَلَبَهُ ثِيَابَهُ وَ لاَ شَيْئاً مِمَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لاَ بَاعَهُ وَ لاَ دَاهَنَ فِي إِرْسَالِهِ فَإِذَا حَلَفَ بَرِئَ مِنَ اَلضَّمَانِ" ".
