Chapter on Bequests for Manumission, Charity, and Hajj
وَ رَوَى اَلنَّضْرُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَادٍّ عَنِ اَلْجَازِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ تُوُفِّيَ فَتَرَكَ جَارِيَةً أَعْتَقَ ثُلُثَهَا فَتَزَوَّجَهَا اَلْوَصِيُّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْسَمَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ اَلْمِيرَاثِ "أَنَّهَا تُقَوَّمُ وَ تُسْتَسْعَى هِيَ وَ زَوْجُهَا فِي بَقِيَّةِ ثَمَنِهَا بَعْدَ مَا تُقَوَّمُ فَمَا أَصَابَ اَلْمَرْأَةَ مِنْ عِتْقٍ أَوْ رِقٍّ جَرَى عَلَى وَلَدِهَا".
Al-Nadr ibn Shuayb narrated from Khalid ibn Maad from Al-Jazi from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام regarding a man who passed away and left behind a slave woman of whom he had freed one-third. The executor of his will married her before any division of the inheritance had taken place. Imam عليه السلام said: "She should be appraised (for her full value), and both she and her husband must work to pay off the remaining value of her price after her appraisal. Whatever state - whether freedom or servitude - applies to the woman will also apply to her children."
