1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ السَّابَاطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي مُكَاتَبَةٍ بَيْنَ شَرِيكَيْنِ فَيُعْتِقُ أَحَدُهُمَا نَصِيبَهُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ الْخَادِمُ قَالَ تَخْدُمُ الْبَاقِيَ يَوْماً وَتَخْدُمُ نَفْسَهَا يَوْماً قُلْتُ فَإِنْ مَاتَتْ وَتَرَكَتْ مَالا قَالَ الْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَانِ بَيْنَ الَّذِي أَعْتَقَ وَبَيْنَ الَّذِي أَمْسَكَ.
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan ibn Afi from ‘Amr ibn Sa‘id from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar ai-Sabatiy who has narrated the foliowing: “About the case of a Mukatabah between two partners, of whom one frees his share and about what the servant must do, he (the Imam) said, ‘The servant serves one day the one who has not freed his share and one day works for himself.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if he dies and leaves assets?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The asset is half and half between the one who freed his share and the one who has not freed his share.’”

2- عَنْهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُوسَى الْخَشَّابِ عَنْ غِيَاثِ بْنِ كَلُّوبٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ مُكَاتَباً أَتَى أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَقَالَ إِنَّ سَيِّدِي كَاتَبَنِي وَشَرَطَ عَلَيَّ نُجُوماً فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ فَجِئْتُهُ بِالْمَالِ كُلِّهِ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ كُلَّهُ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً وَيُجِيزَ عِتْقِي فَأَبَى عَلَيَّ فَدَعَاهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَقَالَ صَدَقَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا لَكَ لا تَأْخُذُ الْمَالَ وَتُمْضِيَ عِتْقَهُ فَقَالَ مَا آخُذُ إِلا النُّجُومَ الَّتِي شَرَطْتُ وَأَتَعَرَّضُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ لِمِيرَاثِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِشَرْطِكَ. تَمَّ كِتَابُ الْمَوَارِيثِ وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَيَتْلُوهُ كِتَابُ الْحُدُودِ.
2. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from al-Hassan ibn Musa al-Khashshab from Ghiyath ibn Kalfub from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that once a slave who had contracted his freedom came to ’ Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), and said, ‘My master made a contract with me with the condition of several installment payments every year. I brought him all installments to pay at once and asked him to accept it and allow my freedom but he refused. Amir al-Mu’minin summoned him and he said, ‘He has spoken the truth.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘Why do you not accept the assets and approve his freedom?’ He replied, ‘I accept only in installments as the condition requires and I avoid his legacy.’ Amir al-Mu’minin then said, ‘You have the right to stay with your condition.’”
