Chapter on Bequests for Manumission, Charity, and Hajj
وَ رَوَى أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنِ اَلشَّيْخِ يَعْنِي مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: "إِنَّ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ سِتِّينَ مَمْلُوكاً فَأَعْتَقَ ثُلُثَهُمْ فَأَقْرَعْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ أَعْتَقْتُ اَلثُّلُثَ".
Aban ibn Uthman narrated from Muhammad ibn Marwan from the Shaykh, meaning Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام, from his father, Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, peace be upon them both, that Imam عليه السلام said: "Indeed, Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, passed away and left sixty servants. He freed one-third of them, then I drew lots among the remaining ones and freed another one-third."
