سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا أُعْتِقَ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَضَعَ نَفْسَهُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ وَ يَتَوَلَّى مَنْ أَحَبَّ فَقَالَ إِذَا أُعْتِقَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ مَوْلًى لِلَّذِي أَعْتَقَهُ فَإِذَا أُعْتِقَ وَ جُعِلَ سَائِبَةً فَلَهُ أَنْ يَضَعَ نَفْسَهُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ وَ يَتَوَلَّى مَنْ شَاءَ.
