سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَبِيعُ عَبْدَهُ بِنُقْصَانٍ مِنْ ثَمَنِهِ لِيُعْتَقَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَبْدُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِنَّ لَكَ عَلَيَّ كَذَا وَ كَذَا أَ يَأْخُذُهُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَأْخُذُهُ مِنْهُ عَفْواً وَ يَسْأَلُهُ إِيَّاهُ فِي عَفْوِهِ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيَدَعْهُ .
Translation
Abu Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Ismail Bin Sahl, from Muawiya Bin Maysara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who sold his slave at a loss from his price in order to emancipate. So the slave said to him, ‘With regards to what is between the two (prices), for you, upon me is such and such’. Can he take it from him?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He takes it from him as a pardon, and he asks him for it to be excused. So if he (master) refuses, so let him (the slave) pay it’.
