سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَمْلُوكِ كَمْ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَ قَالَ حُرَّتَانِ أَوْ أَرْبَعُ إِمَاءٍ وَ قَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي يَدِهِ مَالٌ وَ كَانَ مَأْذُوناً لَهُ فِي التِّجَارَةِ أَنْ يَتَسَرَّى مَا شَاءَ مِنَ الْجَوَارِي وَ يَطَأَهُنَّ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, and Muhammad Bin Khalid, altogether, from Al Qasim Bin Urwat, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5<sup>th</sup> or 6<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>), said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the owned slaves, ‘How many that he marry?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Two free ones, or four slave girls’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem if there was wealth in his hands, and he was permitted for it regarding the business, if he keeps concubines whatever he so desires to from the slave girls, and go to them’.
