سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَبِيعُ الرَّجُلَ وَ هُمَا حُرَّانِ يَبِيعُ هَذَا هَذَا وَ هَذَا هَذَا وَ يَفِرَّانِ مِنْ بَلَدٍ إِلَى بَلَدٍ فَيَبِيعَانِ أَنْفُسَهُمَا وَ يَفِرَّانِ بِأَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ تَقْطَعُ يَدَيْهِمَا لِأَنَّهُمَا سَارِقَانِ أَنْفُسَهُمَا وَ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Hafs, from Abdullah Bin Talha who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the man who sells the man, and they are both free. This one sells this one, and this one (sells) this one, and they both run from city to city, so they sell themselves, and they both run with the wealth of the people. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Then hands of them both would be cut, because they are both thieves stealing themselves, and the wealth of the people’.
