إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَتَى أَبِي فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي ابْتُلِيتُ بِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ إِنَّ لِي جَارِيَةً كُنْتُ أَطَأُهَا فَوَطِئْتُهَا يَوْماً وَ خَرَجْتُ فِي حَاجَةٍ لِي بَعْدَ مَا اغْتَسَلْتُ مِنْهَا وَ نَسِيتُ نَفَقَةً لِي فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ لآِخُذَهَا فَوَجَدْتُ غُلَامِي عَلَى بَطْنِهَا فَعَدَدْتُ لَهَا مِنْ يَوْمِي ذَلِكَ تِسْعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ فَوَلَدَتْ جَارِيَةً قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي لَا يَنْبَغِي لَكَ أَنْ تَقْرَبَهَا وَ لَا تَبِيعَهَا وَ لَكِنْ أَنْفِقْ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ مَالِكَ مَا دُمْتَ حَيّاً ثُمَّ أَوْصِ عِنْدَ مَوْتِكَ أَنْ يُنْفَقَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ مَالِكَ حَتَّى يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهَا مَخْرَجاً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A man from the Helpers came to my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup>, so he said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘I have been afflicted with a grievous matter. There is a slave girl for me, and I had gone to her. So one day I went to her, and then I went out regarding a need of mine, after having washed myself from her, and I forgot some expenses money from myself. So I returned to the house in order to take it, so I found my slave upon her belly. So I counted for her from that day of mine for nine months. So the slave girl gave birth’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘It is not befitting for you that you should go near her, nor sell her, but spend upon her from your wealth for as long as you are alive. Then bequeath during your death that they (inheritors) should spend upon her from your wealth until Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Makes for her a way out’.
