سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ طَلَاقِ الْمُكْرَهِ وَ عِتْقِهِ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ طَلَاقُهُ بِطَلَاقٍ وَ لَا عِتْقُهُ بِعِتْقٍ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ تَاجِرٌ أَمُرُّ بِالْعَشَّارِ وَ مَعِي مَالٌ فَقَالَ غَيِّبْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ وَ ضَعْهُ مَوَاضِعَهُ فَقُلْتُ وَ إِنْ حَلَّفَنِي بِالطَّلَاقِ وَ الْعَتَاقِ فَقَالَ احْلِفْ لَهُ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ تَمْرَةً فَحَفَنَ بِهَا مِنْ زُبْدٍ كَانَ قُدَّامَهُ فَقَالَ مَا أُبَالِي حَلَفْتُ لَهُمْ بِالطَّلَاقِ وَ الْعَتَاقِ أَوْ أَكَلْتُهَا .
Translation
Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a divorce of the coerced, and his emancipation (liberation of a slave). So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘His divorce is not with a (valid) divorce, nor is his emancipation a (valid) emancipation’. So I said, ‘I am a businessman. I pass by the tax collector and with me is wealth’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Hide from him according to your capacity, and place it in its (proper) place’. So I said, ‘And if he makes me swear an oath with the divorce and the emancipation (of a slave)?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Swear for him’. Then he<sup>asws</sup> took a date, so he scooped with it from butter which was in front of him<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> don’t mind if you swear for them with the divorce, and the emancipation (of a slave), or I<sup>asws</sup> eat it (the date)’.
