Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 46
وَ رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي جَارِيَةٍ كَانَتْ بَيْنَ اِثْنَيْنِ فَأَعْتَقَ أَحَدُهُمَا نَصِيبَهُ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ مُوسِراً كُلِّفَ أَنْ يَضْمَنَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مُعْسِراً أُخْدِمَتْ بِالْحِصَصِ".
Hammad narrated from al-Halabi, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, regarding a bondwoman who was jointly owned by two people, and one of them freed his share. Imam عليه السلام said: "If he is financially capable, he is required to pay and compensate for the remaining share. But if he is financially incapable, she continues to serve based on their respective shares."
