3500 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ يَمْلِكُ ذَا رَحِمِهِ هَلْ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ أَوْ يَسْتَعْبِدَهُ قَالَ "لاَ يَصْلُحُ لَهُ بَيْعُهُ وَ لاَ يَتَّخِذُهُ عَبْداً وَ هُوَ مَوْلاَهُ وَ أَخُوهُ فِي اَلدِّينِ وَ أَيُّهُمَا مَاتَ وَرِثَهُ صَاحِبُهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ وَارِثٌ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْهُ ".

Hadith.3500 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Sama'ah, from Abu Abdullah (as), regarding a man who owns a relative (of close kinship). Is it permissible for him to sell or enslave that relative? Imam (as) said: "It is neither permissible for him to sell nor to enslave him. He is his mawla (freed person) and his brother in faith. If either of them dies, the other inherits from him, unless there is a closer heir than him."
