مَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِناً فَقَدْ عَتَقَ بَعْدَ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ أَعْتَقَهُ صَاحِبُهُ أَمْ لَمْ يُعْتِقْهُ وَ لَا تَحِلُّ خِدْمَةُ مَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِناً بَعْدَ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ .
Translation
Ahmad, from a number of our companions, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Zurara, from one of the progeny of A’ayn, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The one who was a Believer, so he is emancipated after seven years, whether his master emancipates him or does not emancipate him, and it is not Permissible to have the services of the one who was a Believer after seven years’.
