سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ جَارِيَةٍ مُدَبَّرَةٍ أَبَقَتْ مِنْ سَيِّدِهَا مُدَّةَ سِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا مَاتَ سَيِّدُهَا بِأَوْلَادٍ وَ مَتَاعٍ كَثِيرٍ وَ شَهِدَ لَهَا شَاهِدَانِ أَنَّ سَيِّدَهَا قَدْ كَانَ دَبَّرَهَا فِي حَيَاتِهِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَأْبِقَ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَرَى أَنَّهَا وَ جَمِيعَ مَا مَعَهَا فَهُوَ لِلْوَرَثَةِ قُلْتُ لَا تُعْتَقُ مِنْ ثُلُثِ سَيِّدِهَا قَالَ لَا لِأَنَّهَا أَبَقَتْ عَاصِيَةً لِلَّهِ وَ لِسَيِّدِهَا فَأَبْطَلَ الْإِبَاقُ التَّدْبِيرَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Hilal, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> the 1<sup>st</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a slave girl with an arranged emancipation who absconded from her master for a period of several years. Then she came back after her master had died, with a child, and a lot of belongings, and two witnesses testified for her that her master had arranged for her emancipation during his lifetime from before she had absconded. So Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> view that she and the entirety of what is with her, so it is for the inheritors’. I said, ‘She would not be emancipated from a third of her (deceased) master?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, because she absconded, being disobedient to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and her master, so the absconding invalidated the arranged emancipation’.
