Chapter on Bequests for Manumission, Charity, and Hajj
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى بِثَلاَثِينَ دِينَاراً يُعْتَقُ بِهَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ "يُشْتَرَى مِنَ اَلنَّاسِ فَيُعْتَقُ".
Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام about a man who bequeathed thirty dinar for the emancipation of a man from among our companions, but no such person was found. Imam عليه السلام said: "A person should be purchased from among the people and then emancipated."
