Hadith 525

Hadith. 5492 - Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal narrated from Dawud ibn Farqad who said: Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a man who was on a journey with a female slave and two male servant slaves. The man said to the two male slaves, "You both are free for the sake of Allah (swt). Bear witness that what is in the womb of this bondwoman is from me. "
Later, the bondwoman gave birth to a boy. When they returned to the man's heirs, the heirs denied the claim and enslaved the boy and the two male servants. Afterward, the two male slaves were emancipated, and after their emancipation, they testified that their former master had made them witness that the child in the womb of the bondwoman was indeed his child. Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Their testimony is valid in favor of the boy, and the boy cannot enslave them because they have established his lineage. "
