سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْمٍ ادَّعَوْا عَلَى عَبْدٍ جِنَايَةً يُحِيطُ بِرَقَبَتِهِ فَأَقَرَّ الْعَبْدُ بِهَا قَالَ لَا يَجُوزُ إِقْرَارُ الْعَبْدِ عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ فَإِنْ أَقَامُوا الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى مَا ادَّعَوْا عَلَى الْعَبْدِ أُخِذَ الْعَبْدُ بِهَا أَوْ يَفْتَدِيَهِ مَوْلَاهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Muhammad Al Wabishy who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a group which claimed upon a slave for a crime which (the damage of which) was more than his value. So the slave accepted with it. He<sup>asws</sup> said; ‘The confession of the slave upon his master is not allowed. So if the proof is established upon what is being claimed upon the slave, the slave would be seized for it, or his master has to ransom him’.
