Chapter on Bequests for Manumission, Charity, and Hajj
وَ رَوَى اَلْقَاسِمُ مُحَمَّدٌ اَلْجَوْهَرِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ مُحَرَّرَةٍ كَانَ أَعْتَقَهَا أَخِي وَ قَدْ كَانَتْ تَخْدُمُ اَلْجَوَارِيَ وَ كَانَتْ فِي عِيَالِهِ فَأَوْصَانِي أَنْ أُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ اَلْوَسَطِ فَقَالَ "إِنْ كَانَتْ مَعَ اَلْجَوَارِي وَ أَقَامَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَنْفِقْ عَلَيْهَا وَ اِتَّبِعْ وَصِيَّتَهُ".
Al-Qasim Muhammad Al-Jawhari narrated from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah from Abu Basir, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, about a freed woman whom my brother had emancipated. She used to serve the maidservants and was living among his family. He had instructed me to spend on her moderately. Abu Jafar عليه السلام, said: "If she remained with the maidservants and continued serving them, then spend on her and follow his will."
