Chapter on the Allegiance of the Freed Slave

وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلرَّبِيعِ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلسَّائِبَةِ قَالَ "هُوَ اَلرَّجُلُ يُعْتِقُ غُلاَمَهُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَهُ اِذْهَبْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ لَيْسَ لِي مِنْ مِيرَاثِكَ شَيْءٌ وَ لاَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ جَرِيرَتِكَ شَيْءٌ وَ يُشْهِدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَاهِدَيْنِ ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Khalid ibn Jarir, from Abu al-Rabi', who said: Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, was asked about al-sa'ibah (a freed slave who is left without ties). Imam عليه السلام said: "He is a man who frees his slave and then says to him, 'Go wherever you wish. I have no share in your inheritance, nor am I responsible for any liability on your behalf.' He must have two witnesses testify to this declaration."
