رَجُلٍ أَخَذَ عَبْداً آبِقاً وَ كَانَ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ هَرَبَ مِنْهُ قَالَ يَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَا سَلَبَهُ ثِيَابَهُ وَ لَا شَيْئاً مِمَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا بَاعَهُ وَ لَا دَاهَنَ فِي إِرْسَالِهِ فَإِذَا حَلَفَ بَرِئَ مِنَ الضَّمَانِ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> that Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>, they disputed to him<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who had seized an absconding slave, and he was with him, then he fled from him. He would be made to swear an oath by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, besides Whom there is not god except for Him<sup>azwj</sup>, that he did not confiscate his clothes, nor anything from what was upon him, nor did he sell him, nor coaxed him during his sending. So when he swears, he is free from the responsibility’.
