سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ السَّائِبَةِ فَقَالَ انْظُرُوا فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَمَا كَانَ فِيهِ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ فَتِلْكَ يَا عَمَّارُ السَّائِبَةُ الَّتِي لَا وَلَاءَ لِأَحَدٍ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا اللَّهَ فَمَا كَانَ وَلَاؤُهُ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ لِرَسُولِهِ وَ مَا كَانَ وَلَاؤُهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَإِنَّ وَلَاءَهُ لِلْإِمَامِ وَ جِنَايَتَهُ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ وَ مِيرَاثَهُ لَهُ .
Translation
Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Raib, from Ammar Bin Abu Al Ahows who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about Al-Sa’iba (unconditionally freed slave), so he <sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Look in the Quran, so whatever was in it, so free a slave (accordingly). So that, O Ammar, is the unconditionally freed slave for whom there is no guardian over him except for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. So whatever was the Guardianship for Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, so it is for His<sup>azwj</sup> Rasool<sup>saww</sup>, and whatever was the guardianship for Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, so his guardianship is for the Imam<sup>asws</sup>, and his crimes are upon the Imam<sup>asws</sup>, and his inheritance is for him’.
