إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَتَى أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي قَدِ ابْتُلِيتُ بِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ إِنِّي وَقَعْتُ عَلَى جَارِيَتِي ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ فِي بَعْضِ حَوَائِجِي فَانْصَرَفْتُ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ فَأَصَبْتُ غُلَامِي بَيْنَ رِجْلَيِ الْجَارِيَةِ فَاعْتَزَلْتُهَا فَحَبِلَتْ ثُمَّ وَضَعَتْ جَارِيَةً لِعِدَّةِ تِسْعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) احْبِسِ الْجَارِيَةَ لَا تَبِعْهَا وَ أَنْفِقْ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَمُوتَ أَوْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهَا مَخْرَجاً فَإِنْ حَدَثَ بِكَ حَدَثٌ فَأَوْصِ بِأَنْ يُنْفَقَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ مَالِكَ حَتَّى يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهَا مَخْرَجاً وَ قَالَ إِذَا خَرَجْتَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ عَلَى دِينِي وَ نَفْسِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي قَدَرِكَ وَ رَضِّنَا بِقَضَائِكَ حَتَّى لَا نُحِبَّ تَعْجِيلَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ وَ لَا تَأْخِيرَ مَا عَجَّلْتَ
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ibn Fazzal, from Muhammad Bin Ajlan who said that, ‘A man from the Helpers came over to Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, so he said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I am afflicted with a grievous matter. I fell upon my slave girl, then I went out regarding one of my needs, and I turned back from the road, so I came across my slave between the two legs of the slave girl. So I isolated her, and she became pregnant. Then I place a waiting period of nine months on the slave girl’. So Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Keep the slave girl and do not pursue her, and spend upon her until she dies, or Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Makes a way out for her. So if there occurs with you an occurrence (of death), so bequeath with the expenditure to be spent upon her from you wealth until Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Makes a way out for her’. And he (a.s.) said: ‘Whenever you go our from your house so say, ‘In the Name of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> upon myself, and my children, and my wife, and my wealth’ – three times. Then say, ‘O Allah (s.w.t.)! Bless for us in Your (s.w.t.) Measurement, and (Make us to be) Pleased with Your (s.w.t.) Judgement until we do not love the haste in what You (s.w.t.) Delay, nor (do we love) delay in what You (s.w.t.) Hasten’.
