سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ لَهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ وَ لَهُ مِنْهَا غُلَامٌ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ أَوْصَى لَهَا بِأَلْفَيْ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ بِأَكْثَرَ لِلْوَرَثَةِ أَنْ يَسْتَرِقُّوهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا بَلْ تُعْتَقُ مِنْ ثُلُثِ الْمَيِّتِ وَ تُعْطَى مَا أَوْصَى لَهَا بِهِ . وَ فِي كِتَابِ الْعَبَّاسِ تُعْتَقُ مِنْ نَصِيبِ ابْنِهَا وَ تُعْطَى مِنْ ثُلُثِهِ مَا أَوْصَى لَهَا بِهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, both together, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Abu Ubeyda who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who had a mother of a child of his, and from her was a boy for him. So when the death presented itself to him, he bequeathed to her with two thousand Dirhams, or more. Is it for the inheritors that they enslave her?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, but she would be emancipated from a third of the deceased (legacy), and she would be given whatever was bequeathed to her by it’. And in the Book of Al-Abbas, ‘She would be emancipated from the share of her son, and she would be given from his third whatever he had bequeathed to her by it’.
