سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ دَبَّرَتْ جَارِيَةً لَهَا فَوَلَدَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ جَارِيَةً نَفِيسَةً فَلَمْ تَعْلَمِ الْمَرْأَةُ حَالَ الْمَوْلُودَةِ مُدَبَّرَةٌ هِيَ أَوْ غَيْرُ مُدَبَّرَةٍ فَقَالَ لِي مَتَى كَانَ الْحَمْلُ بِالْمُدَبَّرَةِ أَ قَبْلَ أَنْ دَبَّرَتْ أَوْ بَعْدَ مَا دَبَّرَتْ فَقُلْتُ لَسْتُ أَدْرِي وَ لَكِنْ أَجِبْنِي فِيهِمَا جَمِيعاً فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ دَبَّرَتْ وَ بِهَا حَبَلٌ وَ لَمْ تَذْكُرْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَإِنَّ الْجَارِيَةَ مُدَبَّرَةٌ وَ الْوَلَدَ رِقٌّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ إِنَّمَا حَدَثَ الْحَمْلُ بَعْدَ التَّدْبِيرِ فَالْوَلَدُ مُدَبَّرٌ فِي تَدْبِيرِ أُمِّهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa Al Kilaby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> the 1<sup>st</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a woman who arranged (the emancipation of) her slave girl of hers. So, the slave girl have birth to a gem of a girl. So the woman does not know the state of the new-born whether she is of arranged (emancipation) or without an arranged (emancipation). So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘When was the pregnancy, with the arrangement of before she had the arranged (emancipation)?’ So I said, ‘I do not know, but answer me with regards to both (situations) together’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it was such that the woman had an arrangement (of the emancipation) and with her was a pregnancy, and she had not mentioned what was in her belly, so the slave girl is with the arrangement and the child is a slave; and if it was rather a new pregnancy after the arrangement (of the emancipation), so the child is also with the arrangement (included) in the arrangement of its mother’.
