سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى أَنْ يُعْتَقَ عَنْهُ نَسَمَةٌ بِخَمْسِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ مِنْ ثُلُثِهِ فَاشْتُرِيَ نَسَمَةٌ بِأَقَلَّ مِنْ خَمْسِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ فَضَلَتْ فَضْلَةٌ فَمَا تَرَى قَالَ تُدْفَعُ الْفَضْلَةُ إِلَى النَّسَمَةِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تُعْتَقَ ثُمَّ تُعْتَقُ عَنِ الْمَيِّتِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, both together from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who bequeathed that a person be freed with five hundred Dirhams from his third. So a person was bought for less than five hundred Dirhams, and the remainder remained as you<sup>asws</sup> can see. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You should give the remainder to the slave from before emancipating him, then emancipate him on behalf of the dead’.
