رَجُلٍ مُكَاتَبٍ كَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ امْرَأَةٌ حُرَّةٌ فَأَوْصَتْ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهَا بِوَصِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ أَهْلُ الْمِيرَاثِ لَا يَرِثُ وَ لَا نُجِيزُ وَصِيَّتَهَا لَهُ لِأَنَّهُ مُكَاتَبٌ لَمْ يُعْتَقْ وَ لَا يَرِثُ فَقَضَى أَنَّهُ يَرِثُ بِحِسَابِ مَا أُعْتِقَ مِنْهُ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Najran and Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, altogether from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Muhammad Bin Qays, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> regarding a contracted man, under whom was a free wife, so she bequeathed during her death with a bequest. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The people of the inheritance do not inherit, and her bequest is not allowed for him because he is a contracted slave, yet to be emancipated (liberated), but he would not inherit’. So he<sup>asws</sup> judged that he would inherit by the calculation of whatever he had been emancipated (liberated) from it (his contract)’.
