رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ عَبْداً لَهُ وَ لَهُ مَالٌ لِمَنْ مَالُ الْعَبْدِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلِمَ أَنَّ لَهُ مَالًا تَبِعَهُ مَالُهُ وَ إِلَّا فَهُوَ لِلْمُعْتِقِ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin darraj, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>) regarding a man who emancipated a slave of his, and for him was wealth. For whom is the wealth of the slave?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he knew that there was wealth for him, he would pursue his wealth, or else it would be for the one who was emancipated’.
