Al-Kafi 9047

Translation

And by this chain, said, ‘I said to Abu Ibrahim^asws (7^th Imam^asws), ‘The man mortgages the slave and the house, so the affliction hits it, upon whom would that (loss) happen to be?’ He^asws said: ‘Upon his master’. Then he^asws said: ‘What is your view if people are killed, upon who would that be?’ I said, ‘It would be in the neck of the slave’. He^asws said: ‘Do you not see that his wealth has not gone away?’ Then he^asws said: ‘What is your view if his price was one hundred Dinars, so it increased and reached two hundred Dinars, for whom would that have been?’ I said, ‘For his master’. He^asws said: ‘Like that is what would happen to be against him, what would happen to be for him’.
