جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مَمْلُوكاً لِقَوْمٍ وَ إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ امْرَأَةً حُرَّةً بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ مَوَالِيَّ ثُمَّ أَعْتَقُونِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَ فَأُجَدِّدُ نِكَاحِي إِيَّاهَا حِينَ أُعْتِقْتُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَ كَانُوا عَلِمُوا أَنَّكَ تَزَوَّجْتَ امْرَأَةً وَ أَنْتَ مَمْلُوكٌ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ سَكَتُوا عَنِّي وَ لَمْ يُعَيِّرُوا عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ سُكُوتُهُمْ عَنْكَ بَعْدَ عِلْمِهِمْ إِقْرَارٌ مِنْهُمْ اثْبُتْ عَلَى نِكَاحِكَ الْأَوَّلِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said, ‘A man came over to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so he said, ‘I was an owned slave of a group of people, and I married a free woman without a permission of my master. Then he emancipated me after that. Do I have to renew my marriage with her when I was emancipated’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Did they know that you had married a woman and you are an owned slave of theirs?’ So he said, ‘Yes, and they were silent from me, and they did not fault upon me’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Their silence from you after their knowledge is an acceptance from them. You are affirmed upon your first marriage’.
