قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَوْمٌ اشْتَرَكُوا فِي شِرَاءِ جَارِيَةٍ فَائْتَمَنُوا بَعْضَهُمْ وَ جَعَلُوا الْجَارِيَةَ عِنْدَهُ فَوَطِئَهَا قَالَ يُجْلَدُ الْحَدَّ وَ يُدْرَأُ عَنْهُ مِنَ الْحَدِّ بِقَدْرِ مَا لَهُ فِيهَا وَ تُقَوَّمُ الْجَارِيَةُ وَ يُغَرَّمُ ثَمَنَهَا لِلشُّرَكَاءِ فَإِنْ كَانَتِ الْقِيمَةُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي وَطِئَهَا أَقَلَّ مِمَّا اشْتُرِيَتْ بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُلْزَمُ أَكْثَرَ الثَّمَنِ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَفْسَدَ عَلَى شُرَكَائِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الْقِيمَةُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي وَطِئَ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا اشْتُرِيَتْ بِهِ يُلْزَمُ الْأَكْثَرَ لِاسْتِفْسَادِهَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Saeed, from Yunus, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A group participated in buying a slave girl, so they relied upon one of them, and made the slave girl to be with him, so he went to her’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would be whipped the Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) and it would be staved off by the measurement of whatever (share) was for him in her, and the slave girl would be evaluated, and her price would be for the associates. So if her price during the day she had been copulated with is less than what she was bought for, so the excess of the price would be necessitated upon him, because he had spoilt upon his associates; and if it was that the price during the day which she had been copulated with is more than what she had been bought for, the excess would be necessitated for having spoilt her’.
