سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مَمْلُوكٍ تَزَوَّجَ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ سَيِّدِهِ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ أَجَازَهُ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ الْحَكَمَ بْنَ عُتَيْبَةَ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النَّخَعِيَّ وَ أَصْحَابَهُمَا يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ أَصْلَ النِّكَاحِ فَاسِدٌ وَ لَا تَحِلُّ إِجَازَةُ السَّيِّدِ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ إِنَّمَا عَصَى سَيِّدَهُ فَإِذَا أَجَازَهُ فَهُوَ لَهُ جَائِزٌ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about an owned slave who got married without a permission of his master. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is up to his master, if he so desires to he allows it, and if he so desires to he effects separation between the two of them’. I said, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Keep you<sup>asws</sup> well! Al-Hakam Bin Uteyba, and Ibrahim Al-Nakhai’e, and their companions are saying that the origin of the marriage is spoilt, and it is not Permissible for the master to allow it for him’. So Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘He did not disobey Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. But rather, he disobeyed his master. So when he allows it, so it is allowed for him’.
