Hadith 33
۞
Hadith.3526 - It is narrated from Ahmad bin Hilal, who said
"I wrote to Abu al-Hasan (as), stating that I was obligated to free a slave, but my slave had escaped, and I did not know where he was. Would his emancipation suffice for fulfilling my obligation?"
Imam (as) wrote back: 'Yes.' "
3526 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ قَالَ
كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ عَلَيَّ عِتْقُ رَقَبَةٍ فَهَرَبَ لِي مَمْلُوكٌ لَسْتُ أَعْلَمُ أَيْنَ هُوَ أَ يُجْزِينِي عِتْقُهُ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "نَعَمْ ".
