حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجَسْرِيِّ - جَسْرِ عَنَزَةَ - قَالَ:
قُلْتُ لِمَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ: الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُعْتِقَ الْمُعْتَقَ، قَالَ: " إِذَا اشْتَرَيْتَ مُعْتَقًا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَهُ فَلَا تَشْتَرِطْ لِأَهْلِهِ الْعِتْقَ، فَإِنَّهَا عُقْدَةٌ مِنَ الرِّقِّ، وَلَكِنِ اشْتَرِهِ سَاكِتًا، فَإِنْ [٢]شِئْتَ أَمْسَكْتَ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَعْتَقْتَ

I said to Ma'qil ibn Yasar: A man among us wants to free a freed slave. He said: "If you buy a freed slave whom you want to free, do not stipulate manumission for his family, for it is a knot of slavery. Rather, buy him silently. If you wish, keep him, and if you wish, free him."
