Chapter on the Inheritance of Slaves
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 171
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَ يَتْرُكُ اِبْناً مَمْلُوكاً قَالَ "يُشْتَرَى اِبْنُهُ مِنْ مَالِهِ فَيُعْتَقُ وَ يُوَرَّثُ مَا بَقِيَ".
Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Jameel who said: I asked Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about a man who dies and leaves behind a son who is enslaved. Imam عليه السلام said: "His son should be purchased from his wealth, then freed, and he will inherit whatever remains."
