5058 - وَ رَوَى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي عَبْدٍ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ أَعْتَقَ أَحَدُهُمَا نَصِيبَهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ اَلْعَبْدَ أَتَى حَدّاً مِنْ حُدُودِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ اَلْعَبْدُ حَيْثُ أُعْتِقَ نِصْفُهُ قُوِّمَ لِيُغَرَّمَ اَلَّذِي أَعْتَقَهُ نِصْفَ قِيمَتِهِ فَنِصْفُهُ حُرٌّ يُضْرَبُ نِصْفَ حَدِّ اَلْحُرِّ وَ يُضْرَبُ نِصْفَ حَدِّ اَلْعَبْدِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قُوِّمَ فَهُوَ عَبْدٌ يُضْرَبُ حَدَّ اَلْعَبْدِ".
Hadith.5058 - Sulayman bin Khalid narrated from Abu Abdullah, Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq was asked about a slave jointly owned by two men, where one of them freed his share. Later, the slave committed an offense that warranted one of Allah's (swt) prescribed punishments.
The Imam
said: "If, at the time half of him was freed, he was appraised so that the one who freed him could pay half of his value to the other partner, then half of him is free, and he should receive half the punishment prescribed for a free person and half the punishment prescribed for a slave. However, if he was not appraised, then he remains a slave and should receive the full punishment prescribed for a slave."
