alkafi-13122Vol. 7, p. 22

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُدَبِّرُ مَمْلُوكَهُ أَ لَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِيهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْوَصِيَّةِ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who makes his slave a Mudabbar; if he can change such decision. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so because it is like the will.’”

alkafi-13123Vol. 7, p. 22

الْمُدَبَّرُ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ وَ قَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِي ثُلُثِهِ إِنْ كَانَ أَوْصَى فِي صِحَّةٍ أَوْ مَرَضٍ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that al-Mudabbar is from one-third of the legacy.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘One can change his will about one-third of his legacy regardless of whether one is ill or in good health.’”
