3 hadiths
رَوَى يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ عَبْداً فَشَهِدَ بَعْضُ وُلْدِهِ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَعْتَقَهُ فَقَالَ "تَجُوزُ عَلَيْهِ شَهَادَتُهُ وَ لاَ يُغْرَمُ وَ يُسْتَسْعَى اَلْغُلاَمُ فِيمَا كَانَ لِغَيْرِهِ مِنَ اَلْوَرَثَةِ".
Yunus ibn Abd Al-Rahman narrated from Mansur ibn Hazim from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, regarding a man who died and left behind a slave. One of his children testified that their father had freed the slave. Imam عليه السلام said: "His testimony is accepted, and he is not held financially responsible. However, the slave must work to compensate the share that belonged to the other heirs."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 349
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ وَ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ مَاتَ فَأَقَرَّ بَعْضُ وَرَثَتِهِ لِرَجُلٍ بِدَيْنٍ فَقَالَ "يَلْزَمُهُ ذَلِكَ فِي حِصَّتِهِ".
Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Muhammad ibn Abi Hamzah and Husayn ibn Uthman from Ishaq ibn Ammar from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, regarding a man who died, and some of his heirs acknowledged a debt owed by the deceased to another man. Imam عليه السلام said: "That acknowledgment is binding upon the share of the one who made the acknowledgment."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 349
وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ: "أَنَّهُ إِذَا شَهِدَ اِثْنَانِ مِنَ اَلْوَرَثَةِ وَ كَانَا عَدْلَيْنِ أُجِيزَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اَلْوَرَثَةِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُونَا عَدْلَيْنِ أُلْزِمَا ذَلِكَ فِي حِصَّتِهِمَا".
In another narration: "If two of the heirs testify and they are both just, their testimony is accepted and binding upon all the heirs. However, if they are not just, the obligation is only enforced upon their respective shares."
