الْمُدَبَّرُ مَمْلُوكٌ وَ لِمَوْلَاهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي تَدْبِيرِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ بَاعَهُ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ وَهَبَهُ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ أَمْهَرَهُ قَالَ وَ إِنْ تَرَكَهُ سَيِّدُهُ عَلَى التَّدْبِيرِ وَ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ فِيهِ حَدَثاً حَتَّى يَمُوتَ سَيِّدُهُ فَإِنَّ الْمُدَبَّرَ حُرٌّ إِذَا مَاتَ سَيِّدُهُ وَ هُوَ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى بِوَصِيَّةٍ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ بَعْدُ فَغَيَّرَهَا مِنْ قَبْلِ مَوْتِهِ وَ إِنْ هُوَ تَرَكَهَا وَ لَمْ يُغَيِّرْهَا حَتَّى يَمُوتَ أُخِذَ بِهَا .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The owned slave with the arranged (emancipation), and for his master is that he retracts regarding his arrangement, if he so desires to he sells him, and if he so desires to he gifts him, and if he so desires to he makes him as a dower’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And if his master were to leave him upon the arrangement, and an event (of death) does not occur again until his master dies, so the arranged slave is free when his master dies, and he is from the third (of the bequest). But rather, he is at the status of a man who bequeaths with a bequest, then changes his mind for it, so he alters it from before his death; and if he were to leave him and does not change it until he dies, he would be seized by it’.
