سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ دَبَّرَ مَمْلُوكاً لَهُ تَاجِراً مُوسِراً فَاشْتَرَى الْمُدَبَّرُ جَارِيَةً بِأَمْرِ مَوْلَاهُ فَوَلَدَتْ مِنْهُ أَوْلَاداً ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمُدَبَّرَ مَاتَ قَبْلَ سَيِّدِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَرَى أَنَّ جَمِيعَ مَا تَرَكَ الْمُدَبَّرُ مِنْ مَالٍ أَوْ مَتَاعٍ فَهُوَ لِلَّذِي دَبَّرَهُ وَ أَرَى أَنَّ أُمَّ وَلَدِهِ لِلَّذِي دَبَّرَهُ وَ أَرَى أَنَّ وُلْدَهَا مُدَبَّرُونَ كَهَيْئَةِ أَبِيهِمْ فَإِذَا مَاتَ الَّذِي دَبَّرَ أَبَاهُمْ فَهُمْ أَحْرَارٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya Al Ajaly who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about a man who arranged (the emancipation) of an owned slave of his, a businessman, financially affluent. So the arranged slave buys a slave girl by the order of his master. So she gives birth to children from him. Then the arranged slave dies before his master. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> view that the entirety of what the arranged slave has left, from wealth or provisions, so it is for the one who had the arrangement for him, and I<sup>asws</sup> view that the mother of his children is for the one who had the arrangement, and I<sup>asws</sup> view that her children are (all) with the arrangement just like their father. So when the one who arranged for their father were to die, so they are free’.
