سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ لِمَمْلُوكِهِ أَنْتَ حُرٌّ وَ لِي مَالُكَ قَالَ لَا يَبْدَأُ بِالْحُرِّيَّةِ قَبْلَ الْمَالِ يَقُولُ لَهُ لِي مَالُكَ وَ أَنْتَ حُرٌّ بِرِضَى الْمَمْلُوكِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from sa’ad, from Abu Jareer who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about a man who said to his owned slave, ‘You are free, and for me is your wealth’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would not begin with the freedom before the wealth. He should be saying to him, ‘For me is your wealth, and you are free’, with the pleasure of the slave, for that is more beloved to me<sup>asws</sup>’.
