سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ أَعْتَقَ مَمْلُوكاً لَهُ وَ قَدْ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَ أَشْهَدَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ وَ قِيمَتُهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئاً غَيْرَهُ قَالَ يُعْتَقُ مِنْهُ سُدُسُهُ لِأَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا لَهُ مِنْهُ ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ يُقْضَى مِنْهُ ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَلَهُ مِنَ الثَّلَاثِمِائَةٍ ثُلُثُهَا وَ هُوَ السُّدُسُ مِنَ الْجَمِيعِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Fazal, from Al Hassan Bin Al Jaham who said, ‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding a man who emancipated a slave of his, and death had presented itself, and that was witnessed for him, and his value was of six hundred Dirhams, and upon him was a debt of three hundred Dirhams, and he did not leave anything apart from it’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would be one-sixth free from it. But rather, from it for him were three hundred Dirhams, and three hundred Dirhams were paid off from it, therefore, for him from the three hundred is a third, and it is a sixth from the total’.
