Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Aasim Bin Hameed, from Muhammad Bin Qays, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^asws regarding a contracted one under who was a free woman. So she bequeathed to him, during her death, with a bequest. So the inheritors said, ‘We do not allow her bequest to him. He is a contracted one and has not been liberated, and he does not inherit. So he^asws judged that he would inherit by the accounting of what he is liberated from it, and it would be allowed for him from the bequest with the accounting of what he had been freed from it (the contract)’. And he^asws judged regard a contracted to who had been bequeathed with a bequest, and he had fulfilled half of what was upon him. So half the bequest would be allowed. And he^asws judged regarding a contracted one who had fulfilled a quarter of what was upon him, so he was bequeathed to with a bequest, so he was allowed a quarter of the bequest. And he^asws said regarding a free man who had bequeathed to a contracted woman, and he had fulfilled a sixth of what was upon him, so he allowed for her by the accounting of what she was free from it (the contract)’.
