بعض أصحابنا عن حنان بن سدير عن حكم الخياط عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: قلت له: أيجزى الولد الوالد؟ قال: لا إلا في خصلتين: يجده مملوكا فيشتريه فيعتقه أو يكون عليه دين فيقضيه عنه.
23.One of our companions narrated from Ḥanān ibn Sadīr, from Ḥakam al-Khayyāṭ, from Abū Jaʿfar  who said to him, “Can a son recompense his father?” He said, “No, except in two cases: he finds him enslaved so he buys him and emancipates him, or he is indebted so he pays off his debt.”
