Chapter on Bequests for Manumission, Charity, and Hajj
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلنُّعْمَانِ عَنْ سُوَيْدٍ اَلْقَلاَّءِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ اَلْحُرِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ اَلْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَوْصَى أَنْ أُعْتِقَ عَنْهُ رَقَبَةً فَأَعْتَقْتُ عَنْهُ اِمْرَأَةً أَ فَتُجْزِيهِ أَوْ أُعْتِقُ عَنْهُ مِنْ مَالِي قَالَ "يُجْزِيهِ" ثُمَّ قَالَ "إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ أُمَّ اِبْنِي أَوْصَتْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَ عَنْهَا رَقَبَةً فَأَعْتَقْتُ عَنْهَا اِمْرَأَةً".
Muhammad ibn Ismaʿil ibn Baziʿ narrated from Ali ibn Al-Nuʿman, from Suwayd Al-Qallaʾ, from Ayyub ibn Al-Hurr, from Abu Bakr Al-Haḍrami, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, "Alqamah ibn Muhammad instructed me in his will to free a slave on his behalf, so I freed a female slave for him. Is that sufficient, or should I free another from my own wealth?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "It suffices him." Then Imam عليه السلام added, "Indeed, Faṭimah, the mother of my son, had instructed me to free a slave on her behalf, so I freed a female slave for her."
