رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ مَمْلُوكَهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ قِيمَتُهُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَ مِثْلَهُ جَازَ عِتْقُهُ وَ إِلَّا لَمْ يَجُزْ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>) regarding a man who emancipated his slave during his death, and upon his was debt. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If his value was similar to what was upon him, and like it, his emancipation is allowed, otherwise it is not allowed’.
