Chapter on Judgment by Lot
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 37
وَ رَوَى حَرِيزٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَكُونُ لَهُ اَلْمَمْلُوكُونَ فَيُوصِي بِعِتْقِ ثُلُثِهِمْ قَالَ "كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُسْهِمُ بَيْنَهُمْ".
Hariz narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: "I asked Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام about a man who has slaves and wills to free one-third of them. Imam عليه السلام said: 'Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام used to draw lots among them.'"
