Hadith.3515 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said: "I heard Abu Abdullah (as) say: Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, used to say: 'Indeed, all people are free, except for the one who acknowledges servitude upon himself while being of sound understanding-whether he is a slave or a bondwoman-or the one upon whom two witnesses testify to his servitude, whether he is young or old.'"
