6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ مَالا كَثِيراً وَتَرَكَ أُمّاً مَمْلُوكَةً وَأُخْتاً مَمْلُوكَةً قَالَ تُشْتَرَيَانِ مِنْ مَالِ الْمَيِّتِ ثُمَّ تُعْتَقَانِ وَتُوَرَّثَانِ قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَبَى أَهْلُ الْجَارِيَةِ كَيْفَ يُصْنَعُ قَالَ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ وَيُقَوَّمَانِ قِيمَةَ عَدْلٍ ثُمَّ يُعْطَى مَا لَهُمْ عَلَى قَدْرِ الْقِيمَةِ قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمَا اشْتُرِيَا ثُمَّ أُعْتِقَا ثُمَّ وَرِثَاهُ مِنْ بَعْدُ مَنْ كَانَ يَرِثُهُمَا قَالَ يَرِثُهُمَا مَوَالِي ابْنِهِمَا لأنَّهُمَا اشْتُرِيَا مِنْ مَالِ الابْنِ.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Muhammad ibn Ja‘far from ‘Abd Allah ibn Talhah who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who dies leaving behind a large amount of assets, a mother and a sister who are owned by someone. He (the Imam) said, ‘They are bought with the assets of the deceased, set free and made to inherit him.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if the people of the slave-girl refuse?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘They cannot do so. They are appraised fairly, then their fairly appraised value is paid.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if they are bought, set free then made to inherit the deceased; if they die who will inherit them?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The Mawali (relatives) of her son will inherit them because they were bought with the legacy of the son.’” 

7- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَضَى أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي الرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَلَهُ أُمٌّ مَمْلُوكَةٌ وَلَهُ مَالٌ أَنْ تُشْتَرَى أُمُّهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ وَتُدْفَعَ إِلَيْهَا بَقِيَّةُ الْمَالِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذُو قَرَابَةٍ لَهُمْ سَهْمٌ فِي الْكِتَابِ.

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has stated this about the judgment of ’ Amir al-Mu’minin. It is about the case of a man who dies leaving behind a mother, who is owned by someone and a certain amount of assets. He (the Imam) has said, ‘His mother must be bought with his legacy and the rest of the legacy must be given to her, if there are no other relatives who have ordained shares according to the book.’”

8. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from abu Thabit from Hanan ibn Sadir from ibn abu Ya’fur from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has narrated the following: “Once, a Mawla (slave) of Ali (a.s.), died. He said, ‘You must find out if there is anyone who inherits him.’ It was said that he has two daughters who are owned in Yamamah. He (the Imam) bought them from the assets of the deceased and gave to them the rest of the legacy.’” [Note: The next several passages of the Arabic text are the words of Fadl ibn Shadhan and are not translated.]
